As someone quite new to the whole beach detecting thing, could anyone shed any light on what the following effects would be on beaches. This is from a news article published 5th September 06.
"Costal towns have prepared emergency evacuation plans for next weekend as the highest tides in 20 years raise flood fears. More than 120,000 homes have been put on red alert and face being moved to shelters. Weather experts fear mass devastation if the extreme tides are whipped up by high winds or storms. Blah, blah. The tides 4 inches higher than normal are due to a rare allignment of the sun and the moon".
Where I live has the second highest tidal range in the World, so I imagine if there is going to be higher than normal high tides, we equally should expect lower than normal low tides! What do you think -is that correct??? If so happy days!
