RTCC: Oceanographers have just identified the US coastal regions likely to experience 30 days or more of nuisance flooding every year. And the answer is that most of the American coast will experience high waters that are 30-60 cms above local high tides, at least 30 times a year. Nuisance flooding means just that - somewhere between an inconvenience and modest damage. But climate change, and its attendant sea-level rise, will make them much more frequent, and possibly more damaging. William Sweet...

Landslides, flooding menace rain-soaked western Washington state

Several landslides in rain-soaked coastal Grays Harbor County pushed muddy floodwater and debris across key state highways, county and rural roads, most of which remained closed at nightfall in and around Aberdeen and Hoquiam, the county's largest cities.

'Nuisance Flooding' Will Affect Most of U.S. Coastline by 2050, Report Finds
2014-12-19 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: By 2050, most U.S. coastal areas are likely to be threatened by 30 or more days of flooding each year due sea level rise, according to a new report the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The researchers looked at the frequency of so-called "nuisance flooding," which occurs when the water level reaches one to two feet above local high tide, and found that several cities along the East Coast are already seeing more than 30 days of nuisance flooding each year. Additional major cities...
