🌊 King tides are expected along California’s coast in the coming months, with the next event just days away on October 26. These exceptionally high tides, influenced by the moon’s gravitational pull, can increase coastal flooding risks. Combined with the potential impacts of El Niño, king tides could pose additional challenges for coastal communities. Cal OES urges Californians to stay away from flooded and hazardous coastal areas, monitor local advisories, and sign up for emergency alerts at Ready.ca.gov
