Flooding, extremely high seas in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire lead to emergency

WBZ TV's Paula Ebben reports.

[@markl5562]

Wow, houses built 10 feet from the Atlantic are experiencing flooding. Who could have ever seen this coming?

[@CaptApple]

The significant point being that they didn't used to get flooded. Something has changed. Perhaps it's NOT a Democratic conspiracy : ).

These are all rentals owned by multi millionaires. They make a fortune off them in the summer. And Hampton makes a fortune in taxes off them as well. Yes - follow the $$$$$$$$$$

[@jpatel7768]

If what I'm seeing is correct, there are no cars anywhere. Thus they have already evacuated from the area so it's mainly a ghost town until the water recedes

[@terrellwiley4105]

Always wished I could live by the ocean beaches…. Glad those dreams did not come to fruition 😮

[@FRANK45CASTLE]

I have alot of family close to there but not rich enough to live that close. This is crazy, hope everyone is OK.

Development should never be built near the water. Historically there is a reason why waterfronts were used for light industry, ship/boat maintenance, some warehousing etc. and not residential property or inns/hotels. The past 100 years has led to a LOT Of bad decisions in construction that are coming home to roost.

[@dickjohnson7845]

That's false, many of those houses go back 50, 75+ years. Stop with the nonsense.

[@walterpaton8698]

Follow the money...

[@CaptApple]

That's nothing. Just look at all the development of historical floodplains in the last 50 years. Gotta keep shake'in our moneymakers, we.

[@jbarnes2288]

Now if we could just find some good news anchors.

[@guywalker29]

Cars that thought they could make it? People! Desperate people.

[@dickjohnson7845]

Live by the shoreline, then you have to deal with this.

Is this going to be the normal high water flooding. Do to the new weather warming Cliamet

You are not to smart building houses on top of the water...........

[@pointofnoreturn4804]

Go figure a coastal town getting flooded by a high tide. So how the nuke plant making out?

[@obsoleteoptics]

Good question! 👍

[@guywalker29]

Headaches? You're nuts.

[@robmclaughjr]

Get used to it

[@DonCurrier]

They are, coasts have always flooded for centuries. If you think this is caused by climate change, you would be wrong.

no piers !!! bwahahahaha...the ocean is across the street !!! this is way down the side streets across the street !!!

Nature Washing The Filth Away.

[@phishENchimps]

the land is sinking because of the natural processes of the Earth's crust adjusting after the last Ice Age. This land subsidence increases the risk of coastal flooding and erosion in the region. The mean historical tide at Fort Point, NH shows a consistent increase of sea level rise that correlates to the subsidence of the land... The water isn't going up.. the land is going down. on the interior of the region, the land is rising a few MM each year.

Only a matter of time. The foreshadowing of what’s to come

This anchor has ZERO clue what she's taking about.

LMAO

[@MegDent]

And…. That’s why those houses are on stilts! Looks like most of them cleared it. 👍

[@tomhull1276]

Actually, few if any of those homes are on stilts. What you see that may resemble stilts are parking areas beneath buildings that are condos or motels. The houses are mostly on concrete pads or may have a short foundation under which is a crawl space...but they aren't up on stilts.

[@yankee5886]

In such a liberal area. You would think with all this global warming, they would know better. 🙄

[@randyatlawmedia357]

Don't blame my lawn mower and gas stove for your being stupid building or buying on the water. Storms been slam'n since at least 2500 B.C.!!!!!

Why don't you research it instead of asking yourself stupid questions?
