If you live near the water, get your sandbags ready. A coastal flood advisory for Orange and San Diego counties took effect Friday morning and runs until noon Tue., Nov. 10. Forecasters expect minor to locally moderate flooding, with the greatest impacts Sunday and Monday, when high tides could reach 7.4 to 7.6 feet.
That's lower than last week, when king tides on Oct. 27 hit 8.2 feet at the San Pedro gauge. Across Sunset Beach and Huntington Harbour, more than 100 homes and other structures were damaged, and six homes were yellow-tagged.
