The Most Dangerous Part of the Moons Orbit Is Coming in the 2030s

You guys have really been enjoying learning about the cycles affecting the Earth, and this was the last one in this series in production. If you want to see the other videos I've done on this series, check out this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mggRl80WzbE&list=PL2gLpWRK0QlBWT8Pe79Ydegw1Hk8Yw6r6 Have I missed any cycles out, or is there something you want to learn more about? Let me know.

After Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, the government was studying flood & storm surge damage. They brought in experts from Northern Europe. They recommended building canals through housing neighborhoods, instead of big lakes & dams. The locals said the canals would be unsafe for children, and wondered by they work in Europe. The answer was “we teach our children to swim.” The suggested improvements were never built.

Mangroves are super underrated for coastal flooding and the plan for Florida to use them needs to be taken seriously.

My interest in Waxing moon conversations never Wanes. I’ll show myself out.

The crazy thing is when the moon actually hits your eyes, kind of like a big pizza pie, that's amore

I think one of the main reasons for the South Carolina floods was the absolute firehose of rain coming in from the Atlantic. The rising levels in Lake Murray required all six floodgates on the dam to be opened to avoid an overflow; the increase in water flow broke 2 more dams further down the Saluda River. (The area near where I live was under 7 feet of water). This begs the question, is the actual weather affected by the nodal cycles or just the tides? Most people think the floods were just part of a particularly unusual weather event.

I’ll only worry when all the millionaires begin to leave all their riverside and coastal homes.

I remember the floods in 1998, that affected my town quite badly. It took years for thing to get totally back to normal.

It used to be the friendly satellite we know and love but I always knew there was a dark side of the moon.

Its 3 am here in aus but i gotta click when astrum drops another banger

Some minor corrections: Spring tides occur every two weeks so there are about 25 per year rather than 6-8. The tidal force from the sun is almost exactly half that of the moon, not a third as much.

4:40 Spring tides happen twice a lunar month "not 6 to 8 times a year". I think you might mean "king tides" in this instance. The spinning dancers explanation of the 2nd high tide opposite the moon is just brilliant. I have been trying to visualise how that opposite side bulge occurs for a long time. This really explains the mechanism for me. So simple. Thanks!

The water is trying to fling off into space due to its somewhat linear momentum in a lower gravitational position. Spinning is an effect that increases towards the equator and has nothing to do with affecting lunar tides. If the Earth weren't spinning you would still get the same tidal effect. The spin effect is completely separate.

I just looked at the NOAA Tide tables predictions for Puget Sound in year 2034 and didn't see any appreciable difference in that year to any other year.

I find it at least a little bit dubious that every single potential, existential threat that we may be facing… is the most extreme EVER.

I'm not so sure climate change is going to cause so much sea level rise to makes this worse than normal. 20 years ago they said Miami would be under water 10 years ago and the ocean is still no where any kind of description of NEAR putting south Florida in the under water. I have a feeling some high tides will truly be the least of anyone's problems in 2034.

Had me until the video swung to apocalypse porn. Maybe Florida will be underwater in 2030 like Al gore predicted for the 2010s😊

Every 19 years is pretty frequent. Surely we’re used to dealing with this by now?

This is the best of Youtube. Consistently thoughtful, clear and engaging. Thanks for making this for us.

Great video! Thanks for the care put into writing and producing it. Well done.
