Interesting map to play with.

Let's you see how much land would be submerged anywhere on earth for each rise in sea level from 1 to 14 meters.

For example, here's Mt. Desert with a 14 meter rise: Flood Maps

That is amazing - I looked at Eastport and it's so interesting to see where the water would cover the island - Thanks for posting that link.

I guess the three of you blew up the server. When my property becomes waterfront I'll be a happy camper.

Swan's Island turns into two islands, and our house is totally submerged.

I hope it doesn't happen any time soon. I have seen some sea level rise in my lifetime, but nothing like 14 meters.

They'd probably float, right along with Eastports ants...

If crabs can jump then bedbugs should be able to float with the ants.

It won't be the first time sea level has risen or fallen by 14 meters or more. It has happened dozens of times in earth's history.

The environmental whacos hate it when you point that out.
