Across much of the United States, the flood risk is far greater than government estimates show, new calculations suggest. Millions of people are exposed to this hidden threat — one that will only grow as climate change worsens. nyti.ms/2NG8FXO

For 82 days, the residents of a Key Largo neighborhood have been forced to carefully plan their outings and find temporary workarounds to deal with stagnant water — a result not of rain, but a rising sea — that makes their streets look more like canals. nytimes.com/2019/11/24/us/fl…

This is about as high as it’s been during the entire #KingTide season except for mid October during the last full moon. Underlying reasons for saltwater inundation:
- Gravitational pull
- Onshore winds
- Slower Gulf Stream
- Warmer waters
- Sea level rise (+5” since 1990s)

It was called a “1,000-year event.”
Two years later, it happened again.
