Hurricane Nicole's landfall resulted in king tides -- higher than normal tides due to the alignment of Earth, Moon and Sun creating a stronger gravitational pull -- and sea level rise are creating persistent coastal flooding in South Florida.

This video shot in Delray Beach on Thursday (November 10) shows several streets near the Intracoastal Waterway flooded at high tide today. These neighborhoods are also prone to flooding during king tides, especially as the sea level rises due to global warming. Florida real estate law doesn't require sellers to tell buyers that the street out front floods so many buyers are surprised when they do.
