Unusually High Tides In Florida...

[FUJIMO]

For those of you who live on, or near the coastal waters of southeast Florida...are these tides crazy high or what? :eek: Having always lived on the water, this is the highest they have ever been. The Super Moon is one thing...but the winds are definately going the wrong way, to add to they're height. How are the tide levels in Tampa/St. Pete, Naples, Sarasota, etc?

Guys we are having high ones up here too. The storms and the Super(close) full moon. Get out the surf boards.....eeeha!!!!(Those days are gone) Gary

When Sandy went by a few years back, it was even higher with the king tide, full moon and the storm passing by us. This year is about the same it always is with a full moon and king tide..... maybe an inch or two more from the lunar alignment. Funny the media is making such a big deal about it and blaming "global warming".... thing is, I have lived in south Florida all my life (50 years) and all the areas they are showing have been flooding this time of year at full moon for as long as I can remember...... one place in particular is Indian Creek Drive on Miami Beach.... the media always shows that road because it's guaranteed to flood and funny thing about it is that road has been recovered 6 times in the last 40 years and they never raised it.......

Over here on our coast, they (the media) will find a ditch to stand it so it looks deeper and worse than it really is.

I am about damn sick of the media and there garb. Doesn't matter where or what they will do anything for a story.

Tides here in Englewood have been unusually high - low tide is like our normal high tide.

sewers have been backing up , alot of people think its rain water, they have no idea its salt, they go flying thru it! lol

[mr fun]

I think it's all this rain, we've had rain every day for weeks, between bustin ass working and rain showers every afternoon, my yard is going on 3 weeks since I cut it, all nice and deep green and healthy but getting a bit bushy. I'll take it, beats the alternative.

[CLIMAX]

It is the same here on North Padre Island. Lots of talk about it here.

Same in Broward County, no matter where you are on the water. A couple Las Olas homes report 8" water in their homes...

I lived in St Pete / Gulfport in the 80's we water skied next to Eckerd College , Got the worst sinus infection ...
Found out St Pete would DUMP RAW sewage right where we water skied! , I always wondered why Gulfport beach would close after heavy rains.

I have been able to fish areas that I used to only take my airboat into, with my flats boat.....

Just saw Jim Cantore in waders kneeling in a ditch.

Seems like half tide is high tide around here. I double checked my tides app the other day when I was coming out of the canal. Saves a bunch of time and fuel when I can cut through the flats.

[STVmod]

what do you guys around the coast use for a tide navigational app? looking for something that when turned on will track my course so I can come back in the dark with limited trouble. and also to use for the depth charts.

Yeah, I always skip across the Haulover sandbar on tides like these

Yeah, I always skip across the Haulover sandbar on tides like these Which years ago, used to be called "Beer Can Island". Crazy freaking inlet, to put it mildly.

Just saw Jim Cantore in waders kneeling in a ditch.
Have stood 20' off camera from him in shorts & a tee-shirt on a panhandle beach, while he's in full rain gear, holding onto his hat, leaning into a mild breeze, dramatizing massive winds, fleeting rain, and how cold it was. Same with his sidekick...Stephanie Abrams.

Parker...Storm drains in the streets should be separate systems to the sewer piping from homes/business's. But are you saying...somehow...the chocolates get'n mixed up with the peanut butter?!:rolleyes:

The tides have been bad enough, add 140 mm rain here Wednesday!
An hour above Maine, Bay of Fundy, highest tides in the world.

Rivers are still rising, damage will be in millions, one fatality so far.
