King tides are expected to cause flooding along the Orange County coastline from Saturday through Tuesday, with Newport Beach officials urging residents to take precautions. - Vulnerable areas include Newport Island, Balboa Island, Finley Tract, Lido Village, Balboa Village, LaFayette Avenue, the Peninsula, and parts of the Marcus River and Lake Avenue area.
- Residents should install seawall plugs, place sandbags, and avoid parking in low-lying areas. - Motorists are advised to drive slowly through flooded areas to prevent wakes.
- Pre-filled sandbags are available at the City Corporation Yard, and sandbags for filling are at all Newport Beach fire stations. The warning highlights the need for preparedness as king tides, the highest tides of the year, pose a risk of localized flooding and property damage.
