Video shows county's coastal flooding, big waves in October

King tides flooded coastal streets in Palm Beach County and strong sustained winds created heavy waves along the county's beaches on Sunday, Oct. 25.

The October full moon often brings a stronger gravitational pull with it, creating unusually high tides along Florida's east coast.

That moon rose over the county on Saturday, Oct. 24, and the tides sent waves of water onto beaches and coastal roads early Sunday.

Also roiling the ocean were winds from the northeast blowing Sunday at speeds between 15 and 20 mph with gusts topping 30 mph, the National Weather Service in Miami reported.
