SAN DIEGO SLAMMED by Record Tide — 8.52 FEET, Highest in Gauge History (Latest Updates)

Описание: Record-breaking high tides and powerful storm surges swamped the Southern California coast in late October 2026, leaving extensive property damage from Orange County to the San Francisco Bay Area. In Huntington Beach and surrounding low-lying waterfront neighborhoods such as Sunset Beach and Huntington Harbour, over one hundred structures sustained water damage as seawater overwhelmed seawalls, sandbags, and local drainage infrastructure.

Scientists attribute the exceptional coastal flooding to a combination of record-high seasonal king tides, rising sea levels linked to warm Pacific waters, and a developing El Niño pattern. Forecasters warn that coastal communities must remain vigilant as upcoming winter king tides threaten even higher water levels across the region.

In this video, viewers will see flooded coastal streets and residential neighborhoods, swift-water rescue operations and emergency responses, damaged waterfront infrastructure, and tide gauge records. Confirmed casualty and missing-person figures are pinned in the comments and updated as official numbers change.
