[QUOTE="evoeth, post: 70731253, member: 348079"] Correct, meaning storm surges are 2.6" per year higher than they would be if the same storm was in 1993. This is high enough. Storm surges hit the limits to which we design. A slightly bigger surge is enough to show up as a major problem, especially when we consider just the extremes across all regions. For example, suppose we have 100 towns in different locations. Over 5 years each experiences a major storm. Those storm surges are all 1-5% bigger (that 2.6" baseline rise). In some number of these towns that difference in surge is enough to break the limits of the infrastructure. *That's* the problem. [/QUOTE]
