"know, when it comes to precipitation, we're going to get more of it in individual events. And so that means more water at one time. Right now in Hampton, New Hampshire, we observe about 10 days a month that experience high tide flooding in 2050. So in 25 years, we'll see about twice that number of days. So about 20 days of the month, we'll see high tide flooding. With deeper water, there becomes more energy that can get to the coast. So it's not so much maybe that the storms are changing, but that you have more water in areas mixed with storms that might be the same as we've always seen, but you have deeper water, you can imagine more energy get in places where it hasn't seen it previously. Good science is so important because it's the foundation of how we deal with changes."
