The Facebook page 'San Luis Gonzaga' is showing damage to the homes at Alfonsina's.

Perfect example of why you should not build on a sand spit. Your houses are basically built on the beach.
Perhaps they should rebuild inland on higher ground, eh? Sea level is rising...

Just like at Bahia Santa Maria, people want a place on the beach with unobstructed view and access. Everyone knows that Nature bats last and storms
with high tide can contact these homes or move sand from in front of or underneith them. The sea level change (if there was any) has nothing to do
with damage from storm waves. After the storm, the sea returns to the normal level as it has countless times before. If it was rising, then after 60
years, you shouldn't be able to see it still below fixed physical objects that were just above the sea then. Yet, these objects are still just above
the sea now as they were back then.

dk,
again...
if sea level rises 8 inches, the shore does not disappear beneath the sea.
what happens is:
the high tide is 8 inches higher,
the median tide is 8 inches higher, and
the low tide is 8 inches higher.
think about it!

I am sure 8" is a big thing to you goat. 8" did not destroy beach homes, however.

Since the storm damage is not a big thing to some (I feel for the people in Bahia Gonzaga), Maybe this will help you out David.

I agree with everybody  that first of all this is the fact of building on sand,
few feet away from high tide. Locals rarely did this in the past. Maybe now they do it more often, when there is no other land or they've become
commercialized - thinking about some tourist business and waterfront property appeal.
I don't know how soon those 8" will come. There is a consensus, however, that climate does change. Wind and storm patterns become less predictable,
more sudden and often more violent. Odille was bad, nothing like this ever happened since the beginning of records 70 or 80 years ago. Lidia has come
close to it, just a short 3 years after. Saw the Cabo video? They will clean the mud, fix the roads and viaducts, build more drainage ditches,
seawalls, locals and tourists will pay the bill. Next hurricane will do less damage, and then another one will come heavier than before.

Seal level rise is caused by Arctic ice melting. More water.
Sand may shift around, but I don't remember reports on fast increase of the total mass of sand on the planet. Maybe hydrologists could shed some light
on this.
Yeah, don't worry, be happy, fish on, have a cold one. Move - I love it, will pass this good news to local villagers - move. JeezzzZZZ...

If you put ice cubes in a glass and fill it with water does the water go higher when the ice melts?

Sure glad you brought that up.
depends upon how much of the ice cube is above the water line...for example...if you add ice to a glass of water does the water line go up?
Now....how much of the glacier melt is above the water line.
