When the flooding event is the event

In my town a hundred plus years ago, the entertainment was watching the men wrangle the floating trees into the mill pond.   The trees didn't care if they arrived under less than ideal conditions.  The wranglers had to turn a felled tree through a 90 degree turn into the mill pond as it it was flowing downstream.  If they missed, then they were literal logjam entertainment.

King Tides are the highest tides of the year.  When both the moon and the distance to the sun are at a particular alignment, the tides are at their greatest magnitude.  Without winds or storm surge, this still leads to flooding.  In Miami Beach, king tides arrival dates are well known and life adjusts.  Here is Annapolis Maryland.

The University of Washington sees an educational opportunity in the Puget Sound. Maybe, the attendees are seeking entertainment or affirmation or connection with like-minded people.  Tourists like to see something before it's gone forever.  I see an opportunity to spread the word about real events.

Here are two more in the San Francisco Bay.   I imagine there are many more around the world.

Importantly, all of these events demonstrate the baseline impact of changes.
