Satellites from several sources detected the anomaly nearly simultaneously, but it took another month to convince the lay-person citizenry that this was a real threat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSea level in the Atlantic is never uniformly flat. The moon above has a lot to do with that, tides and all. People understand tides as coming in, going out. Sure, sometimes a 'king tide' is unusually high, or a storm surge will push flood waters inland a hundred yards or so, but the water always recedes, right? Tides always go back out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil they don't.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix teenage girls calling themselves the STEM Squad, geniuses each, warned that this would not be the case when The Bulge arrived. They even gave a date. April 16th, give or take twelve hours. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNaturally there were those who laughed. Much of the coastal population of the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida went about their business as usual. Indeed, half of the coastal population in Florida mocked the warnings that the Bulge was a uniform rise of the Atlantic Ocean surface level of more than 45 feet, moving steadily southward like a storm cloud, six hundred miles wide. Others described it as being like a towering dust storm stretching from horizon to horizon and barreling towards you at speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCold water melting from the Arctic and Greenland built up underneath, near the ocean floor, pushing the Bulge up and away toward the southern Atlantic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen it began swallowing islands in Nova Scotia and the Maritimes, evacuation notices were given for the entire coastline of Florida. Miami residents had until April 16th to move permanently, or become food for sharks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat gave them five weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on Shakespeare's \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTimon Of Athens\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke Pierce Reade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke Pierce Reade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.21d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798223527909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eReade, Duke Pierce:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDuke Reade Pierce is an historian, futurist, researcher and writer living and working in a small office high above the street in Chicago where the clamor within those canyons of steel and glass are both an irritant and inspiration, and the sunsets are spectacular.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duke Pierce Reade","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43491894231155,"sku":"9.79822E+12","price":15.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_c048b01d-5c2a-49bc-998e-1e3cd61aef76.jpg?v=1755170481","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-tides-of-time-9798223527909","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
