This last week, we've had exactly that. A decaying tropical cyclone, the moon close to the Earth, and in addition, Mars is relatively close to Earth.

This causes high tides to over-top the local sea walls, which are not designed for events of less frequency than 1 in several thousand.

We will have another three close events with the Moon in the next couple of years.

Because spring tides are when the sun and moon are in the same place, when a coastal storm hit, it would be hard fo sailors, and it would be raining heavily
