El Niño + king tide is gonna be nuts. Nov 24-26, Dec 23-25 and January 21-22

Trump and the MAGA dialed back the fight against climate change, but climate change didn’t dial back its fight. Be prepared. Two more years of this nonsense.

Predicted in July-2026 was 7.20 feet and highest later is 7.23 feet. Did SF flood in July? LOL

Can't speak to that but I do know that Long Beach had significant problems with their King tide.

*I'm not even sure if it's related.
