Well, last night was a super "Pink" full moon so that was probably what people are calling a "King Tide".
"Astronomy experts say the April 7 full moon — nicknamed the “pink moon” because of the pink flowers that usually start to bloom this time of the year — will have the closest orbit to the Earth out of all 13 full moons of 2020.
And yes, there will be 13 full moons this year instead of the usual 12, because two full moon phases will occur in October, one on Oct. 1 and one on Halloween.
The April supermoon will officially be at its fullest phase at 10:35 p.m. Eastern time on April 7.
The moon will start to rise in the eastern sky in the New York City region at 7:05 p.m. Tuesday and will set in the western sky at 7:38 a.m. Wednesday, according to TimeAndDate.com.
If you miss the supermoon Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, it will appear nearly 100 percent full again Wednesday night into Thursday morning and 97 percent full Thursday night."
