cape life: higher tides

When you live on a road that is less than a mile long. And has marsh lands on both sides and creeks that cross underneath. And dead ends at Cape Cod Bay…..

Flooding is not a surprise.

Except when there has been not nearly enough rain. Apparently Hurricane Teddy, far out at sea, produced higher than high tides. And gave us an idea of what to expect in the future as we experience the effects of climate change and rising seas.

We can expect our street to flood more often. And work to help make sure the town takes precautions ….
