Description :
When a storm tide coincides with an exceptionally high astronomical tide and shallow water depths, the results may be catastrophic. The record of storm tides is knowable, and they may be predictable in the Gulf of Maine-Bay of Fundy region. The AA. begin with a look at some of the events associated with the most historically memorable Fundy storm tide, the Saxby Tide of 4-5 October 1869.
