New Report Predicts Rising Tides, More Flooding

Welcome to the new reality. Time to raise the seawalls, and perhaps the costal towns. Or put another way, no coast is static.

I Interesting article, Chip. My sister-in-law lives very near the beach in Daytona, and my brother lives in Salem. Massachusetts. I was just notified that my flood insurance has increased due to rezoning.

Sounds alarming. And the numbers are staggering. But there are no numbers in the article which tell me what the rate of sea rise actually IS. It's still right around 3.2-3.4 mm/year, right? About a foot a century? But the quote says "Today's storm will be tomorrow's high tide." Is it tomorrow, or in a few hundred years?
