Major Coastal U.S. Cities---maybe smaller ones too--- under Triple Threat

The impact of Sandy on Lower Manhattan in New York City.

Now new research finds coastal cities face increased threats of flooding.

 "A combination of sea-level rise, storm surge and heavy rainfall – all functions of climate change – exposes New York, Los Angeles, Houston, San Francisco, San Diego and Boston to a much greater degree, research published on Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change found."

      And I don't think it is much of a leap to say that smaller coastal cities like Mobile, Alabama, and Jacksonville, Florida will also be endangered by the same combination of events.
