00:00Here in South Miami, the king tides came in around 945 this morning. Definitely brought in about one to two feet of that water, and it will quickly dissipate as we get into the rest of today. We're going to be dealing with these king tides for the next several days. Miami officials have been telling residents to be ready. King tides itself is coming from the ocean, so it's hard to drain the ocean. So it really expands the amount of areas that can get impacted. So it's more people, you know, more people
00:29maybe stuck in traffic or out trying to walk their dog and having challenges. So it just makes it a little bit more widespread. Now there's about 5 million people anywhere from here in South Florida all the way up into the southeast into the Carolinas that are under some type of coastal flood advisory as we head into the next 24 to 48 hours. And that is because of these king tides that are expected to be a little bit higher than normal. We had a supermoon Monday night and that helped increase that chance of that tidal
00:59push. We've also had a little push. We've also had a strong onshore flow the last several days here along the eastern seaboard and especially here in the southeast. I used to come to Madison with my folks when I was a little kid. So I've seen a change and it's kind of like the sea kind of just purges and this is a really good spot for it because not a lot of people around and it's just it's interesting to see how high it gets. A lot of times I see a lot of manatee activity. It's really an event that is underrated for for people that are local to see because we're in this king title cycle all week.
01:29Here across the southeast through October 12th folks are telling you that if you are going to be anywhere along the southeast where it does easily flood to be extra careful in these coming days. Reporting in South Miami, I'm Leslie Hudson for AccuWeather.
