California coast faces flooding and erosion
A strong El Niño event combined with super king tides and sea level rise driven by climate change threatens California with record coastal flooding this winter. Elevated ocean temperatures and higher sea levels are already causing beach erosion, infrastructure damage, and higher-than-expected tides along the coast. Experts warn that exceptionally high tides, coinciding with El Niño's effects and lunar cycles, could result in some of the highest tides in recorded history, greatly increasing the risk of flooding and coastal erosion.
