A new study from NASA and the University of Hawaii, published recently in the journal Nature Climate Change, warns that upcoming changes in the moon's orbit could lead to record flooding on Earth in the next decade.
In 2019, NOAA reported more than 600 such floods. Scientists expect three to four times that amount in the mid-2030s, after sea-level rise has another decade to progress.

NASA: Moon "wobble" in orbit may lead to record flooding on Earth
A wobble in the moon's orbit will raise high tides even higher, exacerbating the devastating effects of sea-level rise.

Rapid increases and extreme months in projections of United States high-tide flooding - Nature Climate Change
High-tide flooding (HTF) is more likely with sea-level rise. Projections along the United States coastline, considering likely sea-level rise and tidal amplitude cycles, suggest increased HTF event clustering in time and rapid increases in annual HTF frequency as early as the mid-2030s.

Worth a read into this. The videos at the end, may make one think a bit more in-depth of an outcome. Hurricane Katrina (for one) comes to mind. This may have already gotten posted?
