Environmental activists again made the dubious claim that Miami Beach floods with high tide, and with it, they posted a picture purporting to show flooding during high tide.
It turns out, Miami Beach doesn’t flood with every high tide, and the picture is actually of flooding after a heavy rainstorm.
“It’s hard to ignore climate change in South Florida, what with the city streets that flood at high tide,” Katie Herzog, of the global warming alarmist site Grist, wrote Friday.
Miami Beach Public Relations Manager Melissa Berthier told The Daily Caller News Foundation that “flooding only happens during ‘king tides,'” which take place around April and October. She did go on to say that if enough rain falls during high tide, light flooding can occur. But reiterated floods do not happen as a normal occurrence during Miami Beach’s high tides.
