MIAMI HIT by floods — Up to 5 INCHES of Rain, Record King Tide Overwhelms Streets (Latest Updates)

Описание: Miami, Florida, has recorded its longest-ever streak of moderate coastal flooding, with eleven consecutive days of high water from late October through November 1, 2026. Two of those days reached major flooding levels, while heavy rainfall of up to five inches added another layer of flooding across Miami-Dade and surrounding counties. As of Thursday, November 5, another high tide is expected this evening, and forecasts indicate minor coastal flooding could return daily for the next ten days.

The record flooding was driven by unusually strong King Tides, persistent northeast winds and rising sea levels. At Virginia Key, the October 27 tide reached the highest King Tide level in the gauge's history. Meanwhile, seawater pushed backward through drainage systems, canals overflowed, and saturated ground left Miami with little capacity to absorb additional rainfall.

In this video, we examine Miami's eleven-day coastal flooding record, the heavy rain that inundated neighborhoods from Miami Beach to Hialeah, and why high tides can prevent storm drains from emptying. We also look at the delayed $150 million flood-control projects, rising sea levels, and the next King Tide periods expected in November.

Another round of coastal flooding is expected tonight, with new King Tides arriving November 6–8 and again during Thanksgiving week.
