HIGHEST TIDES EVER RECORDED in LA — California Beach Towns SWAMPED, Ocean Crashes Into Highways!

Описание: Record-breaking high tides flooded low-lying coastal communities across Southern California following an unprecedented tidal surge in late October 2026. Ocean levels surpassed historical records set in 2005 at multiple tide gauges, causing seawater to inundate homes, submerge coastal roads, and force closures along Pacific Coast Highway and local rail lines.

Meteorologists attribute the flooding to a combination of full moon tides, above-average ocean temperatures, and an El Niño-driven Kelvin wave pushing a mass of warm, expanding water against the coast. These elevated water levels occurred under clear skies without local storm activity, leaving communities vulnerable to sudden street flooding.

In this video, we examine the unprecedented tide levels in Newport Beach and Sunset Beach, the disruption to major transportation routes, the underlying oceanographic causes, and the upcoming rain systems facing the region. Confirmed casualty and missing-person figures are pinned in the comments and updated as official numbers change.
