king tides could bring rising water levels to floodprone areas of south florida

King tides have arrived in South Florida, and if you couple that with offshore winds and rainfall, there could be serious flooding issues.

Experts say the peak high tides are expected this weekend, causing water levels to rise up to two feet above normal.

When this happens, it has the potential to flood streets, docks and yards of low-lying homes.
