King Salmon residents are furiously attempting to grow gills to better adapt to the neighborhood’s pesky winter high tides. The accompanying photos were sent to LoCO by resident Andrew McFarland, who also noted this is an annual occurrence ‘round them parts.

“Every year in December and January we get these really high tides and the bay comes rolling into our yards,” McFarland said via Facebook.

On a related note, LoCO noticed that the upstart local TV newsers at KAEF 23 have started posting embeddable video of their stories online. See their report below for more on this tidal phenomena. (Note: Mobile LoCO readers appear to be out o’ luck.)
