Kings County Braces for Monster El Niño After Tule River Broke Through Its Banks in at Least 50 Places in 2023

Kings County supervisors declared a preemptive state of emergency on Oct. 13, preparing for potential flooding as forecasters warn of an extraordinarily strong El Niño bearing down on the southern San Joaquin Valley this winter. The move comes more than three years after the Tule River broke through its banks in at least 50 places, and officials say the memory of 2023 — when floodwaters damaged homes, dairies, businesses, roads and infrastructure — is shaping how the county and its web of water agencies are gearing up this time around.
