I am at 9.5ft. High tides this week (new moon) are on the order of
6.8ft. The last coupla days we have had lots of tstorm rains, very
heavy at times. Throw in the runoff and the marshes (including my back
yard) are pretty high. The City of Charleston, built on filled marsh,
is now experiencing flooding during these events (either rainstorms or
high tides or both for the double whammy) on a regular basis. Friend
had to go into town yesterday afternoon, she had to park 6 blocks from
where she was going and walk through knee-deep water to get there. Many
cars flooded, many streets flooded, many idiots flooded. This has been
and will continue to get worse as we are told sea levels are rising.
Fun times.

Around 780' here. Flooding in town. Something like 4 or 5 500 year
floods in the last 40 years, but I stay high and dry.

I'm at 38 feet ASL, but I'm also a ways inland.

Winston Churchill:
“Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large
or petty,
never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the
enemy.”
