Washington Post -It doesn’t take a hurricane to cause flooding in Miami anymore. In fact, it doesn’t even take a gust of wind. “King
tides” have been taking a toll on Miami for a number of years, and the
phenomenon is only getting worse because of sea-level rise from
human-induced climate change. A king tide is a higher -than-normal tide
caused by specific alignments of the sun and moon. Miami
set daily high tide records for more than a week straight for the
period bridging late July and early August, despite a total lack of
storminess in the region.
