Living near the ocean, seeing old buildings with doors only a couple of feet above the water amazes me.

Where we are, even bays and inland waterways are tidal and subject to tidal and storm surge flooding. You need to be at least 10-15 feet above sea level or in is just a matter of time until it gets washed away.

Where are located, more or less?

East coast of the US. The "100 year" flood zone covers places that are miles away from the ocean, bays, etc. The water works its way up tidal creeks. Anything directly on the water gets flooded on a fairly regular basis.

By the way, any Norwegians here? I had a look at !norway@lemmy.world but seems very quiet.

Nei, å slutt å ta bilder i trøndelag den ene dagen det ikke regner eller snør, gir feil inntrykk.

Interesting, I had forgotten about feddit.nu!

Yes, I've been to Bergen once, I had never see that many clouds in a few days, and I'm Belgian ha ha
