You’ve probably heard the term “king tide” a lot lately, but most people have no idea what it actually means.

King tides are some of the highest naturally occurring tides of the year, caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon lining up with Earth.

They’re predictable, but when you combine them with wind, waves, storms, or heavy rain, the impacts can become much more serious.

Flooded roads. Coastal erosion. Water reaching places that normally stay dry.

Now I want to hear from you. Are you seeing unusually high water where you live right now? Drop your city in the comments and tell me what you’re seeing.
