El Niño floods California coasts before highest tides arrive

Original: El Niño is flooding California's coasts with the highest tides to come

El Niño conditions are already causing coastal flooding in California, with king tides — the year's highest tides — still ahead. Warmer ocean water expands sea levels, and stronger storms push water further inland, threatening beaches, roads and low-lying communities. Commenters note that the worst may still be coming in the winter months, raising concern about how much worse the flooding could get.

Why now: Concern that El Niño-driven flooding will worsen as the season's highest tides approach
