Coastal Flood in Mainland Monroe, Florida

An Everglades National Park ranger reported minor saltwater flooding in Flamingo, on the flood-prone campground adjacent to the water, during the high tide cycles. Standing water was less than one foot on the road at the Flamingo Campground.

Higher than normal water levels occurred in late August due to the full moon cycle, or king tides, across the Gulf coast of South Florida. Minor coastal flooding was possible during high tide with the peak height on August 20th.
