Is this a surprise? Not like it's the first time this has happened. It's a low lying island. It floods easily. Guess what? They have earthquakes in Cali.
Post a link to something indicative of surprise. Tia. Last week we had a near record low tide....today one of the highest flood tide I've seen in years. That's all.

Don't need to post a "link". Anyone who's lived in this county longer than a hockey season knows how prone to flooding that St. George's Island is.
I've lived on this island for 27 years, Mr. Clueless. Through many a hurricane and tropical storm. And you missed the entire point, so you get another chance to "get it":
Only a few days ago the Potomac River experienced a near-record "blowout tide" that emptied the river. Today, a few short days later, we get an extreme high tide (I maintain a NOAA tide reporting station, btw..the only one in the immediate geographical area. ;-) ) "From one extreme to the other" <------- Get it?
Couple of good pics. It's receding now...only barely over the 3' mark on the gauge.
Methinks someone is a bit snarky today.

It's from Global Warming.... Quit using the Plasma Cutter.....
Flooding on Solomons, too.
I saw some pictured of that ...yep it was definitely a high one. Still a lot lower than during Isabel or Ernesto though...
