12. Here is a study that shows a major increase in flooding the past 10 years for Miami Beach

Fri Jul 11, 2014, 11:57 PM

Jul 2014

From 1998 to 2006 (Tide induced events) there was an average of .2 per year.

From 2007 to 2013 (Tide induced events) there was an average of 2 events per year. That is a massive increase!

Rain induced events have also doubled over the same time periods.
