@tomstandage @burritojustice I didn't say it was; I said that "days closed" is not a useful metric. "actual sealevel" IS a useful metric.
@MorlockP @burritojustice My point is simply that "days closed" in this case is a proxy for the severity of the current flooding
@tomstandage @burritojustice I think we may not disagree.
@MorlockP @burritojustice That flooding is due to rainfall, not sea-level rise; closing barrier stops the tide from making it worse upstream
