Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 2505050, member: 10"] [I]As today’s nor’easter raged on, it quickly became clear that the flooding was the biggest issue, with storm surge battering the Massachusetts coastline. When high tide hit this afternoon around 12:45 p.m., it appeared that Boston Harbor saw its greatest tide swell since at least the Blizzard of 1978 and possibly since 1921. (NOAA will have to confirm those numbers, but they’re within a few tenths of an inch). This is a remarkable statistic considering all the nor’easters that have happened in the four decades since. Tide predictions are somewhat difficult and because the storm grew so large, so fast, I suspect that this was under predicted. This means you can expect to see lots more images of flooded shore roads up and down the coastline as many locations continue to experience major flooding.[/I] [URL='https://www.boston.com/weather/weather/2018/01/04/david-epstein-snowstorm-brings-highest-tide-swell-to-boston-harbor-since-blizzard-of-1978']David Epstein: Snowstorm brings highest tide swell to Boston Harbor since Blizzard of 1978[/URL] [URL="https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2018/01/04/flooding-in-boston-coastal-areas-could-reach-1978-blizzard-levels"]Photos, videos of potentially historic flooding in Boston, coastal areas[/URL] [/QUOTE]
