We're experiencing king tide right now. This is what the marina near my house looked like yesterday afternoon. Usually the level is a few feet lower.
Wikipedia says that king tides are "simply the very highest tides" and are naturally occurring predictable events.
Landon said it's supposed to get even higher tomorrow.

Wow, that's kind of scary!
To me too, Mich!
Whoa! i used to joke that my house in kaimuki would become beachfront if the global warming predictions came true but your picture was like, oh-oh.
i bet plenty marina people going sell their houses after today.
Wow!!! I'm curious to see how high it gets today!!
My best friend lives on Spinnaker Isle, right on the marina. In fact, had dinner with him and his wife 2 months ago at their home. Had lunch at the Elk Club yesterday, the tide was pretty high. Hope it doesn't do any damage to your property.
j: I've been watching the king tides with interest. It's suppose to peak today after 5 pm. I wonder if the Waikiki hotels will get flooded since they're below the water table. I worked at a hotel right across Waikiki Beach and on normal days we had seawater seeping up thru our underground garage, also covered with sand. And they had a pump going 24/7 to pump the seawater out. Mother Nature gets her way. -N
Waikiki is having a tough time with the king tides, hunh? Actually I want to go see it, but Art doesn't want to fight traffic to go into town.
hope you don't get any flooding in your yard...
Hope it dont get out of hand.. start sandbagging your doorways! cq
Nice shot. Guess what Jalna? I can see my old Penthouse condo in the background.
It's the tall red roofed condo building called The Heritage House. And my penthouse was 2nd from the far left side. The condo was originally owned by one of the Society of Seven singers.
I loved living there with my Koko Head and ocean view. And the cool winds blew down over Mariners Ridge. After I got married Dec. 1984 I bought a house way up top on Mariners Ridge. On Kalihiwai Place. With views to Molokai. At night I could see the light from the Kalaupapa light house. I miss Hawaii and the good old days!
Aunty, today had some people across the marina checking out their docks.
Wasn't too bad today, Les. I get one update picture on tomorrow's blog post.
Chet, that's kinda my area too.
Holy cow, N!
I guess Art's not curious enough yah, Kay.
That's always a worry for us since the last time, Kat.
For real yah, CQ!
So nostalgic, Mark!!
