minus-square@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•5 months ago storms can rise 15 feet or more above the ordinary sea level
minus-square@Glowstick@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish7•5 months agoStorm surge levels isn’t the same thing as sea level.
minus-square@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•5 months agoTechnically correct, but ultimately irrelevant. Storm surge renders properties below the point of sea-rise height uninhabitable. The fact that its temporary doesn’t mitigate the long-term destructive impact it inflicts.
minus-square@Glowstick@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-25 months agoNot irrelevant, it very much depends on the frequency and severity. Katrina Sandy flooded NYC massively, but it’s still extremely inhabited.
