Boston had 11 days of high-tide flooding last year and can expect 1118 days next year, according to a report released Wednesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Sometimes called "nuisance" or "sunny-day" flooding, high-tide flooding occurs when tides reach anywhere from 1.75 to 2 feet above the daily average high tide and start spilling onto streets or bubbling up from storm drains. There have been increasingly more in recent years, largely due to sea-level rise.

High-tide flooding endangers crucial infrastructure in Boston, includingwaste and stormwater systems, MBTA lines, and roads like the frequently-flooded Morrissey Boulevard.

"Damaging floods that decades ago happened only during a storm are now happening more regularly, even without severe weather," saidNicole LeBoeuf, director of NOAA's National Ocean Service, at a press conference. "High tide flood levels may become the new high tide in some locations."

"For the first time in human history, the infrastructure we build must be designed and constructed with future conditions in mind," she added.

NOAA's 2021 State of High Tide Flooding and Annual Outlookdocuments changes in high-tide flooding patterns from May 2020 to April 2021 at 97 NOAA tide gauges along the U.S. coast including one in Boston and provides a flooding outlook for these locations through April 2022, as well as projections for the next several decades.

Boston's flood numbers weren't record-breaking last year the city saw 22 days of high-tide flooding in both 2009 and 2017, compared to 11 last year. NOAA oceanographerWilliam Sweet, lead author on the report, said that Boston's relative sea level actually dipped about four centimeters last year, possibly because of unusual atmospheric conditions. And while it's normal for sea-levels to wax and wane a bit each year, the overall trend is decidedly upwards.

"We had a little bit of a reprieve last year in terms of sea levels as well as storm activity," Sweet said, but "the telltales all are pointing to higher sea levels and more flooding in the coming years."

Fourteen coastal communities in the U.S. set or tied records for days of high-tide flooding. Galveston, Texas; Corpus Christi, Texas; and Bay Waveland, Mississippi locations that flooded 2-3 days each year 20 years ago set a record of more than 20 days of high tide floodingfrom May 2020 to April 2021.

The NOAA report predicts 20-35 days per year of high-tide flooding for Boston by 2030, and 45-95 days by 2050. These long term outlooks are based on the range of relative sea level rise, using "intermediate" scenarios from the Fourth National Climate Assessment.

Whats On Tap in Chicago This Weekend: July 9-11, 2021 - On Tap Sports Net

The Smithsonians Museum on Main Street, in cooperation with Mississippi Humanities Council, came together to showcase the Crossroads: Change in Rural America exhibit at the Waveland Ground Zero Hurricane Museum.

The exhibition will tour six communities in Mississippi and Waveland is the only host site on the Coast.

The exhibit explores how rural American communities changed in the 20th century. The interactive exhibit showcases six panels that each tell a different story.

Bernie Cullen, museum board chair and project director, tells News 25 the exhibit allows residents in Hancock County to learn about the rich and rural heritage. We really liked the fact that it was Crossroads: Changes in Rural America because you know we are rural, we got some city, we got some country in us but when we look at the information about this exhibit, when you look at change when you look at persevering, when you look at community, it just fit Waveland and it fit Hancock County. So, what we also decided to do as a board is we didnt just look at it as a Waveland project, we looked at it as a Hancock County project.

Crossroads: Change in Rural America will be set up at the Waveland Ground Zero Hurricane Museum until Saturday, August 14th. Admission is free.

Journal Review

WAVELAND The Indiana Department of Transportation announces a public information meeting will be held Thursday for the proposed State Road 59 pavement rehabilitation and bridge replacement project. This project on S.R. 59 extends from C.R. 1150S to State Road 47 in Waveland.

The meeting will be held at the Waveland Community Center, 108 Howard St. Doors will open at 5 p.m. with the presentation to begin at 5:30 p.m.

The project proposes milling, resurfacing and widening S.R. 59 from the beginning of the project to the Main Street and Cross Street intersection, and from north of the bridge over Little Raccoon Creek to S.R. 47.

On S.R. 59 (Main Street), the pavement will be widened approximately two feet to allow for the installation of a storm sewer system with adequate curb offset. The pavement on S.R. 59 will be widened approximately eight feet in areas where there is existing gravel for on-street parking. The existing 11-foot wide travel lanes, on-street parking, and curb and gutter on S.R. 59 (Cross Street) from the intersection of Main Street and Cross Street to the bridge over Little Raccoon Creek will be replaced. The curbs and storm sewer system will be replaced within the downtown area and added to the roadway between the downtown area and the bridge.

Existing sidewalks, from approximately one half of one mile west of the Main Street and Cross Street intersection to the Main Street and Cross Street and from the Cross St and Green Street intersection to just south of the bridge replacement, will be reconstructed to be ADA compliant.

The project will replace the S.R. 59 Bridge over Little Raccoon Creek.

This public information meeting is opportunity for INDOT to meet with members of the community regarding the road work, solicit input and address concerns the community may have regarding the proposed project.

Public information meeting planned for S.R. 59 project in Waveland - Journal Review

Potential Tropical Cyclone #3 is more of an open trough than a closed low. There is a low-level center, but it is totally exposed.

The system is running out of time to be classified as a tropical storm. Whether it is named or not, the impacts will be about the same. There are tropical-storm-force winds east of the center. Those will be coming ashore in the Tropical Storm Warning area from Morgan City to near Sandestin.

Moderate to heavy rain is overspreading southeastern Louisiana, southern Mississippi, Southwest Alabama, and Northwest Florida.

Tides are running 3-4 feet above normal on the western Mississippi coast at Waveland. At Shell Beach, LA, the tide is nearly 4 feet above normal.

Winds are gusting to 26 mph at Gulf Shores and 30 mph at NAS Pensacola. At Boothville LA, it is gusting to 24 mph.

Waterspouts are possible over the next hour or so in the waters off St, Bernard Parish. There is a continuing tornado threat later tonight and tomorrow north and northeast of the system as it lifts north and northeast, but that threat may be less than earlier expected.

Heavy rain will spread across South and South-Central Alabama later tonight and Saturday. Flooding is possible and flash flood watches are in effect.

PTC#3 Running out of Time and Water - alabamawx.com

An outer feeder band from our potential tropical cyclone is moving across Central Alabama right now. It is approaching Rockford, Dadeville, and Auburn. The western end over Bibb and Chilton Counties fizzled out. The storms will produce quick downpours. They also are producing lightning and gusty winds.

An outflow boundary is moving through Shelby County.

Potential Tropical Cyclone #3 remains disorganized. It continues to have a difficult time because its low-level center is exposed from the widespread convection.

The third Air Force recon flight is making its way through the storm for the first time right now.

It is running out of time to be classified as a tropical storm. The system will be on land within the next several hours if it isnt already.

But classified or not, it is going to produce heavy over a wide area. Heavy rain is already covering the coast from Fort Walton Beach westward across the Alabama and Mississippi Coasts into southeastern Louisiana around Houma and New Orleans.

The plane is finding some tropical storm force winds offshore in the northern and northeasterly sides of the system. The peak wind on the run around the northeastern side of the system turned up one 45 knot flight level wind, which translates to about 45 mph at the surface. These winds will be coming onshore along the Mississippi, Alabama, and Northwest Florida coasts this evening.

There will be issues with storm surge. The surge at Waveland, MS is currently around 3 feet above normal. This is where the water sort of funnels together there between Southeast Lousiana and the western Mississippi coast. At SHell Beach, LA the tide is climbing, already nearing 3 feet above normal. Tides are running 1-1.5 feet above normal on the Alabama and Northwest Florida coasts.

Rip currents will be a big problem as well all along the Gulf Coast. Please stay out oft eh water if you are vacationing on the Alabama and Northwest Florida coasts.

So far, the tornado threat has not been an issue, although it may come more into play later tonight and especially tomorrow. It may not be as big of a threat since the system is not very organized. We will have to wait and see.

We will have a new advisory here in about 30 minutes. Be back with that.

A Look at our Weather and PTC#3 at 6:20 p.m. - alabamawx.com

CHICAGO -- Manager Terry Francona saw no connection between MLBs ban on grip enhancers and the injuries to front-line starters Aaron Civale and Shane Bieber.

Civale left Tuesdays 4-0 win over the Cubs with two out in the fifth with a sore middle finger. He still leads the big leagues in wins and innings pitched, but he is headed for the injured list after he visits hand specialist Dr. Thomas Graham in Dayton on Wednesday.

Biebers last start was on June 13 against Seattle. He left after 5 2/3 innings because of a sore right shoulder.

No, and again Im not going to talk about every single pitcher, but Civale was doing nothing different last night than hes done all year, said Francona. Just because (theres a ban) doesnt mean every pitcher does it.

Umpires started checking pitchers for substances on Monday. Civale was checked twice after innings. Each reliever on the Indians and Cubs was checked at the end of their particular inning. James Karinchak, who pitched the ninth for the Indians, was checked before the inning started.

The Indians relievers had fun with it.

I was laughing, said Nick Wittgren, who pitched out of a jam in the seventh. I kind of made a joke, first time I was gonna come off, drop my hat, glove, take off my jersey, turn it around. But no, umpires, theyre just doing their job as well, just like us. Were doing what were told and theyre doing what theyre told. You have to look at it from both ways.

Crew chief Hunter Wendlestedt met with Francona and Cubs manager David Ross before Mondays game to tell them how the process was going to work.

I thought he did a really good job of explaining it, and what they were gonna do and how they were going to do it, said Francona. That puts you at ease a little bit. I thought they handled themselves extremely well.

Theyre not looking to throw people out of a game. And he made that abundantly clear. They have a job to do and we have a job to do and hopefully everybody does it the way youre supposed to, you wont see any fireworks.

No. 1: Fix it yourself

Team executives Chris Antonetti and Mike Chernoff are exploring possible ways to find help for the rotation, but a lot of other teams are looking for the same thing.

Unless something unexpected happens, Francona, pitching coach Carl Willis and the rest of the organizations pitching gurus know theyre going to have to lean on their internal arms to try and get through this.

The rotation headed into the four-game series against the Twins that starts Thursday night will be J.C. Mejia, Cal Quantrill, Sam Hentges and Eli Morgan, who started Tuesday night against the Cubs. Quantrill is the only one who was on the roster on opening day.

No. 2: There are no words

Francona talked to the Indians after Bieber was placed on the injured list. There have been no meetings in the wake of Civales injury because the message would be the same.

Im actually pleased with how theyre doing, said Francona. Theyre fighting. They know. I dont want to scare them. As long as they believe, Im certainly going to believe. We have to do this together. We know its challenging. The last time I told them, I know the way it wont work.

No. 3: June boom

An improved offense has been one of the ways the Indians have continued to win while losing one starting pitcher after another. They went into Tuesdays game averaging 5.65 runs a game in June compared to 3.96 in April and 3.93 in May. Theyre hitting .258 in June compared to .206 in April and .226 in May.

The reason for the surge? Bobby Bradley is hitting .283 (13-for-46), Harold Ramirez .320 (16-for-50), Jose Ramirez .300 (18-for-60), Eddie Rosario .313 (21-for-67) and Amed Rosario .324 (23-for-71) in June.

No.4: Finally

Injured catchers Austin Hedges and Roberto Perez played catch in front of the dugout before Tuesday nights game. Perez (right ring finger) will start his rehab assignment Wednesday at Columbus. Hedges is in concussion protocol. ... Bieber (right shoulder) worked out in the outfield. Hes still not ready to throw. ... Josh Naylor and Bradley put on a power display that had the fans in the outfield seats at Wrigley cheering. Bradley hit the scoreboard in right field, while Naylor hit one onto Waveland Avenue over the seats in right center. ... Eddie Rosario took a nine-game hitting streak into Tuesdays game. Rosario has raised his average from .203 to .254 over the last 28 games. Hes hit .324 (34-for-105) in that stretch.

Cindy Ball Obituary - Death Notice and Service Information - Legacy.com

NEW ORLEANS The 2020 hurricane season was the most active season ever.

Every piece of real estate along the immediate coastline was under some type of tropical storm, hurricane, or storm surge watch or warning during the hurricane season, says Michael Brennan from the National Hurricane Centers Hurricane Specialist Unit.

In all, 30 named storms formed, a new season high. It topped 2005, the year of Hurricane Katrina, when there were 28 storms.

Eleven storms made landfall last year another record. The previous record was set in 1916 with nine storms coming on land. Louisiana got four of those landfalls, which tied a record for the most for any single state in one season.

Forecasters initially thought that Hurricane Marco made landfall near the mouth of the Mississippi River, which would have been a new record. But, the final report says Marco stayed just off the coast and never actually made a landfall.

Hurricane Lauras 150 mph winds tied a storm in 1856 for the strongest to hit Louisiana directly. Hurricane Camille (1969), a Category 5 hurricane, was stronger, but made landfall near Waveland, Mississippi.

Hurricane Delta was strongest to directly hit New Orleans.

Other firsts in the season: two major hurricanes registered in November Eta and Iota. That had never happened. And, Iota reached Category 5 intensity on November 16th, the latest for any Category 5 storm.

The other first-of-its-kind last year: dealing with all these storms during another crisis the pandemic. It put everyone in the path of a storm in a difficult position, including the forecasters.

A pandemic tells you to stay home. And a hurricane forces you to evacuate, says Jamie Rhome of the NHC Storm Surge Unit. So, how do you deconflict that information and convey your message in a way that people can understand? We were struggling all season long. It was a psychologically difficult lift for every single one of our forecasters.
