Frequently asked questions
The submarine base is upriver. Is that the flood source?
Not the main one. The Sound and the Thames mouth set the tide on this peninsula. A northeaster raises both from the ocean side; the base is a neighbor, not the hydrology. A cellar downtown wets from the cove, and Ocean Beach wets from the spit.
Why does October matter more than a summer thunderstorm?
Because October is storm-tide season here. The rain total is only half the story; the Sound is already high, and a northeaster holds it there. A summer cell can dump and leave. An October northeaster wets a cellar and then freezes the joints around that moisture.
Is a house on the spit a different job from one on the hill above the base?
Yes. The spit is overwash and a water table the tide sets. The hill is seepage in pre-war basements. One fails from salt and spray; the other from grade. Treating them as the same coastal problem wastes the diagnosis.
