The potential Super El Niño could lead to severe weather events, including coastal flooding, saltwater intrusion into groundwater, and coastal erosion. High waves, elevated sea levels, and intense rainfall are expected to exacerbate these risks, particularly along the California coast. Experts warn of the possibility of the highest sea levels ever recorded in the region, compounded by a peak tidal cycle at the end of the year. The frequency of storms in a short period could lead to significant damage, as seen during past El Niño events. Residents in vulnerable areas, such as Humboldt County, may face compounded risks, including property damage and disruptions to daily life.
