At the City Market in Charleston, South Carolina, one of the most popular spots in town, @huntermcrae photographed shoppers dodging seawater that bubbled up from storm drains during high tide in June. For decades, scientists warned that the accelerating rise of the sea would eventually imperil the coastline of the United States. Those warnings are no longer theoretical. The sea has crept up to the point that a high tide and a brisk wind are all it takes to send water pouring into streets and homes. In recent years, federal scientists have documented a sharp jump in this nuisance flooding — or “sunny-day flooding” — along both the East Coast and the Gulf Coast. Now, the sea is so near the brim in many places that they think the problem will likely get worse, and quickly. Shifts in the Pacific Ocean mean that the West Coast may be hit hard, too. While tidal floods are often just a foot or 2 deep, they can stop traffic, swamp basements, damage cars, kill lawns and forests, and poison wells with salt. The high seas also interfere with the drainage of storm water. In coastal regions, that compounds the damage from the increasingly heavy rains plaguing the country, which scientists say are also a consequence of human greenhouse emissions.
