Water in the Indian River rose higher than normal during a fall high tide event in 2016, topping its banks in some locations and flooding this dock on Riverside Drive in New Smyrna Beach. Similar flooding was reported along Florida's Atlantic Coast. Scientists say it was a combination of long-term sea level rise, gravitational pull and a seasonal slowing of the Gulf Stream.
