Edit: Just found this graphic. Tampa could very well be fucked on a Katrina level without any levees breaking.

minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·28 days agoI’m not even sure what I said that was so objectionable, but whatever. It’s fake internet points.
minus-squarehomoludens@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-227 days agoIt’s probably because of the last sentence. Which technically is a fact (because they obviously think that), but 5m is something at least cities in northern Germany are usually prepared for.

minus-squarenjm1314@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·27 days agoNobody said 5 m above anything, the original comment was 5 ft above the average tsunami. So 15 ft total which isn’t quite 5 m but it’s close ish.
minus-squareandrewta@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·27 days agoSorry for the typo. Will correct it.
minus-squarehomoludens@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·27 days ago the storm surge could be up to 15 feet
minus-squareandrewta@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·27 days agoSorry about the error of switching from ft to m. But still 5 ft above an average tsunami is a large increase. I’d be surprise if most coastal cities could handle that
