I hope it stays that way, there isn't much elevation between the beach on my South Jersey home! And more importantly, my wife asked if we should get flood insurance when we moved in and I said "this house is 50 years old and the beams in the crawl space are dry as a bone with no sign of water ever. We're not in a flood plane either. No way should we get flood insurance!" Since then we've had hurricanes and "super storms" pass through and my wife is always looking at me like "you'd better be right about this" and so far so good.

If we die in a tsumani tonight she'll never let me live it down!

I know what you are thinking, but there are homeowners along the coast where I live that had their house float out to sea after a tsunami. At sea level to be sure.

Thought that hurricane Sandy trashed a bunch of places on the shore not long ago. Mebbe look into what sort of insurance (if any) covers that crap. We live 500' up so are not worried about sea surge damage.

We decided years ago to forego living in Florida due to the hurricane uncertainty (wanted to live on the coast). Bugs, snakes, and humidity we learned about later.
