Is tidal flooding near the coast now the new normal we must plan around?
I've lived near the coast for fifteen years, and the tidal flooding on my street has turned from a rare nuisance into a monthly occurrence. When I check insurance quotes now, several companies won't even write a policy for properties below the new flood line. I'm trying to figure out if this is the new normal we should all be planning around, or if we're still in a window where adaptation can actually keep pace. What are you seeing in your own community, and does it change how you think about the urgency of cutting emissions?
