Why does that not surprise me.

I have one too! Thinking about getting a bullwhip. I think it would be fun slicing up cans with it.

To: Louis Foxwell That’s dubious! It’s an island...at what level below the ground do you think the water table is? 13 posted on ‎8‎/‎13‎/‎2019‎ ‎10‎:‎15‎:‎14‎ ‎AM by gr8eman (Only the mediocre are always at their best) [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 6 | View Replies | Report Abuse] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TXnMA, here is a response on another thread to the presence of tunnels on LSJI obviously discounting their possible existence due to the extremely high water table because of the sea.

GE shows a "delta" of about 115' from the shoreline to the [tennis court] elevation. So...if this difference is fairly reliable, then there's plenty of room to play with tunnel construction before encountering any water table I would think.

I've been bragging here about how reliable GE elevation figures are in most cases. Well...this little dig I made is throwing me. At a point on the shoreline south of the tennis court where there appears to be breakers, I'm getting call-outs of around 40' above sea level. Wut? Breakers would generally indicate roughly "at sea level". Right?

Using the GE ruler and extending out to sea from shore, I don't hit "0 feet" until 250' from the apparent shoreline.

Q: how does or where does Google Earth benchmark its sea level (0 feet) elevation?
