The Flood Is Gone, the Salt Isn’t What Florida’s King Tide Left in Cars, Homes & Water

Описание: The Flood Is Gone, the Salt Isn’t What Florida’s King Tide Left in Cars, Homes & Water

Record king tides flooded Miami, Fort Lauderdale and the Florida Keys in late October 2026, on mostly sunny days with no hurricane. The water drained away in days. This documentary follows the salt it left behind: in cars, batteries, concrete and South Florida's drinking-water aquifer, and who ends up paying.
