Story summary

As of October 28, 2026, both the West and East coasts are experiencing severe flooding due to high tides exacerbated by El Niño in the West and King Tides in the East. In Southern California, record-setting king tides have caused waves to batter homes near the water, leading to significant coastal flooding. Meanwhile, strong offshore winds in Southern Florida washed out parts of the shoreline, closing several roadways and flooding neighborhoods on both coasts.
