King tides flood California street as ocean surges ashore
Original: King tides swamp California city in floodwater as ocean surges up busy street
Seasonal king tides have flooded streets in a California coastal city, with seawater surging up a busy road and leaving neighbourhoods swamped. The unusually high tides, which occur when the sun and moon align to pull hardest on the ocean, are being watched closely as a preview of the flooding rising sea levels could bring regularly to low-lying coastal communities.
Why now: Dramatic footage and images of flooded streets during this season's highest tides are drawing attention to coastal flood risk and rising sea levels.
