DEVESTATING FLOODING
On January 4th, 2018, areas of the South Shore of Massachusetts saw some of the worst flooding since 1978. A high tide at 12:30PM, plus a king tide (2 extra feet of tide) plus an additional 3 feet of surge made for a historic event. This event will show how our communities are vulnerable, but also resilient. In the 40 years since the blizzard of 1978, our local communities have worked hard to rebuild seawalls, elevate homes, and take the necessary precautions to prevent large events like this from becoming devastating.
