MANATEE COUNTY, Fla — Manatee County is alerting residents to King Tide expected for the next five days.
Manatee County Emergency Management said that King Tide is expected between Nov. 15 to 20.
King Tide is a term used for exceptionally high tides. According to emergency management officials, residents in low-lying and coastal areas could experience flooding from King Tide.
Manatee County Emergency Management recommends that residents do the following:
- Avoid Flooded Roads: Do not drive through standing water. Even shallow water can cause vehicles to stall or lose control.
- Secure Property: Move outdoor furniture, vehicles, and other belongings to higher ground if they are at risk of flooding.
- Monitor Updates: Stay informed by checking local weather reports and tide charts.
- Prepare for Delays: Plan extra travel time in case of detours due to flooded roads.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
