CBS News reported that king tides hit California and Florida this week, drenching businesses and homes on both coasts. In a CBS News video report, the network identified the phenomenon as king tides and described the water as reaching both residences and commercial properties in the two states.

According to the CBS News summary, videos accompanying the report show the flooding and the damage it caused. The summary describes the footage only in those terms and does not say which communities or businesses were affected, how high the water rose, or how long it remained in place.

The item appeared under a headline describing footage of king tides seeping into neighborhoods and businesses on both coasts. That framing places the coverage around water entering residential areas and commercial establishments, while the summary itself names only California and Florida as the locations where the tides struck.

The summary contains no quotations from named individuals, and it includes no statements from local officials, residents, business owners, or forecasters. The item lists no author, so the account of the flooding rests on the CBS News report and its accompanying videos.

The material available for this account does not include figures on affected properties, injuries, property losses, or official responses to the flooding. Nor does it include independent reporting from other outlets on the same king tides, so the details reported here are limited to what CBS News published in the summary and video.
