hot off press from New Zealand: my island house is doomed
#6
Interesting that means the beach I grew up on on Puget Sound will be flooded possible in the next 20 years or there abouts. Right now nomal max hightide is measured at 13.5 ft above mean sea level which is the hight of the parking lot. The king tide we had last winter was 15.5 ft.. Oh well I guess certain things never last, at least my 15 yearold has gotten to have the run of the beach I grew up on. This also means that the SeaTac airport will be on an island eventually. This sealevel rise will have a magor impact on the shipping industry world wide to say the least!
