SAN FRANCISCO - Historic high tides pushed seawater into low-lying communities along California's coast this week, submerging streets, homes and businesses from San Diego to the San Francisco Bay Area, according to The Guardian. The outlet reported that the tides caused chaos up and down the coast as parts of the state were inundated by record-breaking water levels.

Gabrielle Canon reported from San Francisco for The Guardian. The outlet's headline described California's weather as "well into extreme territory" in connection with the historic high tides.

CBS News reported that extreme tides, known as "King Tides," were slamming the Southern California coast. Its video report, reported by Carter Evans, said high tides had broken records in California. The outlet's summary does not describe the same stretch of coast that The Guardian covered.

The two reports differ in scope. The CBS News summary focuses on Southern California, while The Guardian's summary describes low-lying communities from San Diego to the San Francisco Bay Area. Both outlets describe record levels, with CBS News reporting that high tides broke records and The Guardian describing record-breaking water levels.

Neither summary reviewed for this story includes measurements of the water levels, counts of affected properties, or statements from officials. Further details about the tides and their effects are not contained in the reports available for this story.
