🚨 Fort Lauderdale & Miami Still FLOODING | Hundreds of Millions Spent, Billions More Needed

Описание: South Florida's fall 2026 king tides set records with no hurricane nearby. On October 27, 2026, the Virginia Key tide gauge in Miami reached 2.54 feet above the normal high tide, third highest since the gauge began in 1994, behind only Hurricane Wilma and Hurricane Irma. Miami then reached moderate flood level for 11 days in a row, the longest such streak on record, and 2026 now has 15 moderate flood days compared with the previous record of 10 in 2019.

Seawater flooded Fort Lauderdale's Riviera Isles and closed the Las Olas Bridge, breached a seawall near the 4500 block of Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, and covered Franklin Street and Ocean Drive in Hollywood. In Palm Beach County, Lake Worth Pier set a record of 2.7 feet, and Ocean Avenue in Lantana was under about three feet of water at its worst.

On November 6, raw sewage rose through manholes in several Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods, tanker trucks moved sewage between neighborhoods, and warning signs went up along the canals. As of November 8, the National Weather Service in Miami had isolated minor coastal flooding through Monday morning. The next peak tides are forecast for November 23 to 26.

In this video, we go through what South Florida's cities have spent on flooding so far, the billions they say they still need, why pumps cannot clear the streets during a high ocean, and what researchers say about tides becoming ordinary by the late 2030s.

Miami's sea level has risen about eight inches since 1994, so natural king tides now start from higher water, and onshore wind can push them higher still.
