6-12 inches? Won't that cover MDR?
El Nino is growing, and becoming more dangerous than ever, because we've allowed the richest of the rich, the sociopaths' club, to rule us with their hateful, racist, corrupt, con artist insanity. All they give a rat's ass about is money. Not life. Not kids. Not the future. Not you. Not me. Not the country. Not the planet. They are selfish beyond belief. Their beliefs are born of stimulant abuse - the things they say are what my parents' generation called "drugs talking." Yet the people of this planet won't rise up, and worse than that, continue to use their abusive AI products.
You're all doing this to us, arm-in-arm, like you're at a HS pep rally. Go team.

Coastal Flooding At Predictable Hours

“When do coastal floods happen? ⏱️🌊
A new study [link above] shows that, in many tide-dominated coastal regions, flooding tends to occur at specific and recurring times of day. Rather than being completely random, flood events often cluster around predictable hours driven by local tidal patterns.
By analysing coastal flood observations from the UK and the US, [the authors] show[ed] that the timing of flood events can be highly structured, with some locations experiencing floods disproportionately during certain parts of the day.
This adds a temporal dimension to coastal flood risk. We often focus on how frequently floods occur, how severe they are, and where they happen. This study highlights that when they occur may also matter, particularly as rising sea levels increase the frequency of coastal flooding.
The findings provide a useful perspective for coastal adaptation, risk communication, and emergency planning…”

“Flooding is typically perceived as a sudden and unpredictable hazard. Here, [they] show that recurrent flooding can occur at highly predictable times in tidally dominated coastal systems. This predictability stems from phase-locking of tidal constituents and constituent pairs with the solar day, causing peak tides to recur at consistent local times set by regional tidal propagation. Using tide-gauge records from the United States and the United Kingdom, [they] quantif[ied] the intraday timing of coastal flood events and show strong clustering at specific hours, particularly where semidiurnal or mixed tides dominate. For example, floods in Boston cluster around noon and midnight, whereas in southern California they occur in the morning. Sites with stronger non-tidal variability show weaker clustering. This temporal predictability extends beyond nuisance flooding to larger consequential events involving inundation, road closures and infrastructural damage, highlighting opportunities for anticipatory risk communication, emergency planning and time-sensitive coastal adaptation…”

River deltas are sinking faster than the sea is rising
"
".. river deltas, home to about 5% of the global population .. are experiencing subsidence, which exacerbates the risks from sea-level rise. .. Sentinel-1 mission has captured a decade's worth of data showing land sinking faster than previously thought."17.2.2026
