Roaring Seas and Waves

Protecting U.S. coastal communities from sea level rise will cost $400 billion - UPI.com 
UPI reports: "Authors of the new report estimate 50,000 miles of coastal barriers will need to be built across 22 states over the next two decades. The report, compiled with the help of engineering firm Resilient Analytics, organizes the costs by city, county, congressional district and state. [...] researchers relied on moderate sea-level rise projections and expected yearly storm surge. Should sea levels rise more quickly than expected, governments will be forced to spend more and build more quickly."

Comment: This would be a good time to sell your coastal property.
