According to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/King_tide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Wikipedia<\/strong><\/a>, &#8220;King tides are simply the very highest tides. They are naturally occurring, predictable events.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Higher than normal high tides are impacting areas in Waikiki, Ala Moana and Mapunapuna where the shoreline is very close to the ocean. The so-called King Tides are impacting low lying areas around resorts and businesses, causing some flooding.<\/p>\n<p>For many people it is a chance to go to the beach and actually enjoy the waves whether in the water or not. It presents photographers with a good opportunity to snap pictures of waves, people, beaches and maybe some destruction. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>My friend Lisa and I ventured out to Queen&#8217;s Beach in Waikiki yesterday and recorded our impression\u00a0of\u00a0King Tide with photos and for the first time with our very first, unintentional podcast.
