Mom, the news media is all about click bait....they just regurgitate the same tired stories over and over..knowing a certain amount of people will click on it
..and make no effort to even be accurate

they even post fake pictures...that picture is fresh water flooding from rain...after some hurricane....which has been happening long before people even came to Florida
Your beloved tide charts are meaningless in this debate. You are attempting to apply statistics to a problem of physics. It's like running a temperature of 102 degrees and claiming that you are just fine because your average temperature is 98.6. Since at least start of the 20th century, the average global sea level has been rising. Between 1900 and 2016, the sea level rose by 6 - 8 inches.

More precise data from satellite radar measurements show an accelerating rise of 3.0 inches from 1993 to 2017. This acceleration is due mostly to human-caused global warming, which is causing thermal expansion of seawater and the melting of land-based ice sheets and glaciers. Check out this explanation in Wikipedia.
