What do they mean by "The arrival of "King Tides" has already reached both the shores of the coastside near Half Moon Bay and Pacifica"


Already? Like this is something new and related to sea level rise?

King tides are a natural annual occurrence. They are merely the highest tides of the year. Why try to dramatize it?

Yes, Hutch, King Tides occur regularly. They are indicative though, a preview if you will, of what will be the "new normal" with sea level rise.

Yes Anony I know that. But that's not what they said.
