Story summary

As of October 28, 2026, both the West Coast and East Coast are experiencing severe flooding due to record-setting king tides exacerbated by El Niño and full moon tides in the West. In Southern California, waves have battered homes near the waterline, leading to significant coastal flooding. Meanwhile, strong offshore winds in Southern Florida caused parts of the shoreline to wash out, flooding nearby towns and forcing water rescues. These events mark some of the highest recorded tides in both regions, impacting residents and infrastructure on both coasts.
