1. Loved the video where they showed the water up to the basketball hoop!

The freaking international airport was under five feet of water!
The water supply was compromised on Abaco.
Don’t see how they come back from this.

[demmiblue]

6. I just saw the video from the airport:

Just devastating.

[OregonBlue]

2. Terrifying.

3. cheezus krist!

4. The waves against the sliders!

5. Why I could never live on an island...nt

7. "The wind blows so hard the ocean gets up on its hind legs and walks right across the land."

From the movie Key Largo.

And I’ve seen it happen twice. Georges and Wilma.

8. It might be paradise there when the weather cooperates but one day in Hell like this isn't worth it.

9. This is how climate change looks. Melting ice in Greenland will mean higher sea levels all over the

world which will make the effects of hurricanes even worse.

10. +1. More intense, with greater winds and precipitation.

And more damage to infrastructure

[silverweb]

11. Exactly.

This is just foreshadowing of what's to come.

16. I spend a ton of time in the Netherlands...

And this is much of what people talk about. Luckily the government seems to be somewhat proactive in many respects, but many of my friends are planning to relocate to the east.

This is truly horrifying.

18. The Europeans seem to be talking about it much more than we are here in the US. Hopefully the

young people in the US will follow the lead of Greta and others in Europe.

17. Which creates more displaced people who need to migrate to survive.

We are not even minimally prepared for the results of climate change. The demographics of the world will dramatically change and we need to start learning how to all get along. ❤

[jalan48]

20. Yep-I'm wondering what will happen when people within our borders migrate to other parts of the US.

21. I was thinking about that very same thing this morning. nt

[Wawannabe]

24. I migrated to Western WA

2 1/2 years ago. I was hated on for it.
You already know how it’s gonna play out...
People will be hated on for trying to survive or find a new place to live their lives.
It’s not partisan hate either. Liberals here are also guilty of not wanting more people here. Disconcerting to say the least...in a “ free” country.

[jalan48]

25. Yes, people are afraid outsiders will take what they have. Maybe it's a deep seated tribal behavior.

[calimary]

23. Yep. This.

Hey all you refugee-haters - better get ready for more. MANY more.

You think you don’t like them now? You say you’re being invaded?

Just wait. The accelerating climate crisis is gonna drive many many many more of them northward - and right into YOUR midst. And walls won’t make any difference. No matter how high. Won’t make ANY difference.

Get used to it. Whether you like it or not, THAT’S gonna be the “new normal.”

Whether you like it or not.

12. That would just freak me out.

13. My neighborhood has been severely flooded several times.

The worst I have been at my home is exactly 4 feet of water in the basement. I have several neighbors, however, who have had water reach about 2 feet from the peak of their roof on a 2 story house. I helped a few of them gut their homes (ie: remove all possessions and remove all sheetrock) as per the Town and FEMA instructions. They then relocated and their homes were torn down.

One couple toured my area in a canoe, and they were ducking under electrical wires on telephone poles while doing so.

[SunSeeker]

14. Wow. Where is this?

[demmiblue]

15. Freeport, Bahamas.

A similar video (I don't believe it is the same residence):

19. Terrifying

[Roland99]

22. The fear of living thru that...and wondering if you won't...

[Demovictory9]

26. omg scary

[aikoaiko]

27. And, sadly, this may be one of the lucky ones based on videos.

[tblue37]

28. Waves crashing against the window! nt

[krispos42]

29. I sincerely hope they have an attic

Or a third floor.

Yikes.

I live less than a mile from Long Island Sound, but I'm few dozen yards up.
