King Tides Flood King Salmon Restaurant

Storm surge and large surf have made the December 2024 King Tides higher than predicted, causing saltwater flooding during this morning’s high tide on the North Coast impacting coastal areas, like King Salmon in Humboldt County.

Avishai Leibson, owner of Falafel Love, shared videos of his restaurant submerged in water.
Despite the flooding, Leibson remains optimistic:

“Life is equal parts what you make it and how you take it. Sure, it’s a cliché, but always relevant. Much love to all the folks reaching out with encouragement and support.”

The tides are expected to start receding between 11 AM and 12 PM, when the coastal flood warning ends.
