South Florida is bracing for tidal flooding this week, even without a tropical storm on the horizon. The region is entering one of the highest tide periods of the year, known as a king tide, which is expected to last from October 16 to 23.
This natural phenomenon, along with offshore winds and waterlogged ground, could raise water levels by up to two feet in certain areas, potentially flooding streets, docks, yards, and even a few of the lowest-lying homes.
