King Tides Bring Flood Risks to Hallandale Beach
Hallandale Beach, Florida, is preparing for two rounds of king tides this November, with the first occurring from November 5-11 and the second from November 22-28. King tides, the highest tides of the year, are caused by the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth during new and full moons. The highest water levels in the first round are expected from November 7-9, reaching up to 3.5 feet at Port Everglades. The second round is forecast to peak on November 25, with water levels reaching approximately 3.7 feet. These tides can lead to street flooding in low-lying areas, even on sunny days, as seawater may flow back through storm drains. Heavy rain during this period could exacerbate flooding conditions. Residents are advised to stay informed and take precautions to mitigate potential impacts.
