![Chris Wingo walks with his dog, Jet, at Sandy Beach on Thursday. Wingo said he came expecting to walk on the beach but with Thursday's high tide there was no beach. High tide in Juneau peaked at a height close to 20.4 feet at 12:18 p.m. Thursday, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. High tide Friday at 1:17 p.m. is predicted to reach a similar height. The occasional phenomenon, known colloquially as a "king tide," brought coastal flooding to parts of California Thursday.
