Resilience--the cemetery is at sea level

I watched the flooding at noon and 4 PM Friday, sunrise and sunset Saturday, and early morning Sunday.  We had a mix of sunny and cloudy periods, with some nice lighting effects for photos.

My model for the extent of flooding based on the reported high water mark, reached near sunrise and again at sunset Saturday (the last post shows the tide gauge records).

Noon Friday.  The road along the cemetery is flooding, but not yet closed.

Noon Friday (same time as the fish frenzy a few posts back), and a funeral has to deal with the high water.

Sunrise Saturday.  The aviation park is underwater, with pretty light and reflections.

Saturday.  Turbulence as the water floods over the low wall and onto the road.

Sunday morning.  Ripplies record the force of the water.

No sign of the "seawall" or road.



Waves over the seawall

Student parking.  Flooding has blocked two of the roads into this area, and the remaining road is one way in.

High water park, almost into the pavilion.
