Good questions about tides. I don't know really. I assume a high tide is a one-day event, but that the tides on either side of that day are higher than usual. I may be wrong. I also just read that there is no such thing as a tidal surge, only a storm surge. A high tide is a high tide, but it's higher during a full moon, and even higher when that full moon coincides with an equinox. So throwing a storm surge on top of that mix would seem to intensify things still. But perhaps that couple of days difference between the full moon and equinox is enough to make any complementary effect minimal. I guess we'll find out!

Yes, this is looking more ominous with every passing hour. I have to work all day tomorrow so Thursday will be preparation day. I suspect we'll be getting something by then.
