Climate Change reality and Florida-Coastal flooding getting worse with sea-level rise

A conspiracy of the moon, high tides and the steady rise of the oceans left up to a foot of sea water in some sections of Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach Thursday.

Because the Atlantic Ocean has risen about 9 inches in the past 80 to 100 years, the problem continues to deepen, said Jennifer Jurado, director of Broward County's Natural Resources Planning and Management Division.

"For many community members, who live in low-lying areas, the flooding has significantly increased in the last several years, compared to what they were experiencing two decades ago," she said.

More flooding is expected over the next three days, particularly at high tide which will occur at 9:24 a.m. and 9:36 p.m. today, 10:07 a.m. and 10:17 p.m. on Saturday and at 10:49 a.m. and 10:57 p.m. on Sunday. During those times, sea levels will rise about 1 foot above normal, said meteorologist Dave Ross of the National Weather Service in Miami.

My neighborhood was again flooded - 7-10 inches or so and it hasn't rained. I was amazed driving home last night. Had it also rained it would have been much worse. It was once above my knees in sections during a high tide and after a rain. Miami Beach is beginning to feel like Venice at times- not fun!
