King Tides Fuel Major Coastal Flooding Across Southeast

The Southeast coast is facing severe coastal flooding as peak fall King Tides combine with persistent northeasterly winds that push seawater onshore, marking the most critical phase of this year's event. Water levels have risen more than two feet above normal for at least five consecutive days, triggering Coastal Flood Warnings in South Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina where roads and low-lying neighborhoods face inundation. Charleston Harbor faces a heightened threat with potential water levels reaching or exceeding two feet while Florida remains under a Level 1 flash flood warning through Tuesday.
