@ohegarty @CapePineWeather where did the sea come over the road?

[devon.telford @devon_telford]

@Brad604 @Stormyseas77508 King tide tomorrow... and watch out for the polar vortex, lol

[devon.telford @devon_telford]

@Stormyseas77508 @Brad604 I would agree... it's just a made up word without a measurable definition.

Try... perigean perihelion spring tide or perigean spring tide.

@vladivalz @Brad604 lower than normal atmospheric FYI... pressure also creates a storm surge.

@StormsOnErie under forecast. anything happen?

[devon.telford @devon_telford]

@StormsOnErie the WCPS is resolving the seiche at 15 UTC on Monday. Once could add another 50 cm of wave setup.

@turr1959 where's this to?

[devon.telford @devon_telford]

@Sas44177 where's this?

[devon.telford @devon_telford]

Does anyone know if it was same swell that caused the coastal flooding in Santa Cruz on dec 24th that impacted Peru on dec 28? Just curious.
Or where i can find a model run from earlier in the week so i can back trace it myself? #stormsurge #coastalflooding

[devon.telford @devon_telford]

@JLKona @JudyCorbett do you have any pics of storm surge breaking the seawall this year?

[devon.telford @devon_telford]

@EddieSheerr @Isotachtics It was Monday thanks to dizzles keen eye, and we had something out for it.

[devon.telford @devon_telford]

@Isotachtics @EddieSheerr Ah... good eye dizzle

[devon.telford @devon_telford]

@StormsOnErie 20-25 ft waves maybe... but not a storm surge of that amplitude

[devon.telford @devon_telford]

@hare_karen @SSS94863723 it's happening all over, in the US they have coastal flooding alerts on both coasts. Here's an example of a product in BC

@hare_karen @SSS94863723 The storm surge today was cause by the low pressure to the South of the island. The low pressure elevates the water level, like you lowering the pressure in a straw to drink, and the E winds move water towards the right (in N. Hemisphere) and coasts the coast in this case.
