Daytona Beach underwater due to extreme tide
Daytona Beach, Florida, is experiencing significant flooding as an "extreme high tide" event submerges streets and beaches. A king tide, exacerbated by persistent onshore winds, has pushed water levels to the seawall, causing the entire beach to temporarily disappear. The combination of these factors has led to worsened coastal flooding and erosion along Florida's east coast.
