I guess not. I don't know what their criteria are for raising it for real, rather than just a test. This tide was high, but not dangerously so. The pictures were taken in the 10-15 minutes around the high tide, according to the tide tables, so it wasn't going to get any higher. I have often seen it washing over the riverside path - that's not particularly unusual, and at its deepest it will lap around your ankles. Yesterday though it was knee deep at its deepest - the highest I've seen it in the 13 years I've lived in this area. That's quite a volume of water. -- Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
