Could the beachfront part of the town be sinking a bit? Yeah, yeah, I know... sea level rise. But was wondering if how they built it up along the shoreline has flattened out a bit.

It's probably sea level rise-related.

My dad rented a vacation house there for a couple summers in '89 and '91. It's about as summer-y a place as  you can think of.

Didn't Giliigan's Island cover this in 1964?

Yeah, but I had to turn on my electric blanket this winter, so it can't be because of climate change.

The Minnow wasn't a sailboat so I don't think so. The waves really didn't look that big but they farked up that boat.

The multi million dollar shacks right on the ocean are toast! But a half mile inland is a sweet ridge, maybe 80 to 100 ft up... bet those folks are glad they only paid 800k for there 2,500 sq ft four bed 4 bath place!

Does a regular car battery electrocute people when a regular car is submerged?

lots of climate deniers down there.

No. Low voltage.  That water may be a more important problem.
