Flooding on a Sunny Day? Here’s How.

RIDDLE OF THE DAY: You live on the coast and it’s been sunny all week, but the streets are flooded! How did this happen? Watch our latest video on “high tide flooding” for the answer.

Key takeaways: Sea level rise doesn't always impact every community the same. Coastal flooding due to a warming, expanding ocean and melting ice are now often exacerbated by high tides and these events are more than a nuisance.  They are happening more frequently in many locations and overwhelm infrastructure and lead to localized flooding. Communities can't stop the rising sea, but they can take steps to adapt to the new normal.

Watch our video on high tide flooding now and share it with students, family and friends!
