High winds, rain swollen rivers & one of the highest tides of the year @ 6.8m. Great scenes but the frantic work with diggers on Southwick Beach yesterday shows not fun for all??

I've actually played a round of golf near there at Furnace Creak - the lowest golf course in the world - 214ft below sea level.


True story.

In longitudinal distance, you're right. In altitude, Vegas is at about 2000 feet...
