Let's try to put this in perspective. When we lived in Florida, five
foot ocean waves were common. We live adjacent to Chesapeake Bay now,
and five foot waves are not common. We normally see ones to twos in our
area. It isn't the waves per se that trouble me today, because I am not
out on the water and won't be until the weather calms. What concerns me
is the storm surge. It could prove troublesome to those on the
lower-lying areas of the Bay, some of which are near us. We have many
property owners and towns and marinas barely above sea level, and a
substantial surge will make a mess. We normally do NOT have much of a
surge here, absent a major storm.

I guess this no longer is a newsgroup where anything abstract can be
discussed without the usual pack of assholes (I'm not putting you in
this group, Joe) immediately jumping on and seeing if they can destroy
the discussion.

Harry,

Read 99% of your posts, and you contribute nothing to the NG, except
personal insults.

Remember, you harvest what you sow, and when someone lives in a glass house,
one should not throw stones. ; )

Is it possible you telling someone you would like to see a bus hit them, or
that you would shot someone with your gun to keep them away from you, could
possible have any influence as to how you are treated in this NG?

foot ocean waves were common. We live adjacent to Chesapeake Bay now,
and five foot waves are not common

hoary, don't worry about it. the chesa is too shallow to support five foot
waves that aren't breaking, and breaking waves don't make much distance.

Last year during the hurricane, some Bay towns had four foot waves
breaking on their streets. They moved enough to remove houses from their
foundations.

no they didn't. they four feet of water on their streets, but they most
certainly did not have foot waves on their streets. To have four foot waves
they would need water about 40 feet deep, give or take a bit depending on how
steep the waves were.

They moved enough to remove houses from their
foundations.
