El Niño floods California coasts before highest tides arrive

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

California's coastline is already experiencing flooding as El Niño conditions push unusually high tides ashore, and forecasters warn the state's highest tides of the year are still to come. The combination of elevated ocean levels and seasonal king tides is expected to bring further coastal inundation, raising concern about erosion, property damage and the growing impact of climate-driven sea level rise on vulnerable shoreline communities.
