Just How High are the Elders? (part I of III)

A question we are often asked: “Just how high are the Elders?”

Let’s explore.

(Thanks to topigraphic-maps.com and UC#1)

FellerElders,

A very brief survey gives me:

  • Baltimore: Average elevation: 213’
  • Austin: Average elevation: 709’
  • Devon, Ab: Average elevation: 2295’

I’m not sure where the others live, but at first glance, if you want to get high, come to Devon.

How about High Tide?

NOAA’s Sea Level Rise map viewer gives users a way to visualize community-level impacts from coastal flooding or sea level rise (up to 10 feet above average high tides).

10 feet is not nearly enough catastrophe for us. Let’s check out what 66m looks like (floodmap.net).
