It’s not “whether it happened” it’s how frequently.

Boston had more high tide tide flooding days between 2010 and 2020 than it had in the previous forty five years.

Per my other comment, there were more high tide flooding days from 2010-2020 than there were in the prior forty five years.

I'll agree with you on that but it's inaccurate to say it didn't used to happen.

Yes. A little larger than average high tide (which are cyclical) with a little surge and you get this. It gets a little worse over time, but it is routine.
