JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 There is flooding at the intersection of Forsyth and Lafayette in Downtown Jacksonville due to king tides.<\/p>\n

King tides are the extreme high tides that occur when the gravitational forces of the sun and moon align, resulting in the highest possible tides of the year.<\/p>\n

Fall is prime time for these astronomical events in our region, with late September through November delivering the most pronounced tidal swings. These amplify flooding risk in low-lying areas\u2014especially in coastal zones and the St. Johns.<\/p>\n
