On October 27, 2026, unusually high tide combined with strong winds pushed salty water onto Miami Beach streets and piers, causing widespread inundation that could corrode vehicles.
Miami Beach residents said the event differed from the city’s regular flooding because of the large amount of salt water that covered the area.
The city is accustomed to periodic flooding, but this particular occurrence was marked by the volume of seawater that reached roadways and waterfront structures.
