Yea, well, we aren’t below sea level. At sea level! But not below it. I’m a wimp. I lived on the beach for years, but left because I got frightened about the weather. Having pets, it’s hard to evacuate. Now they have pet shelters, I think you have to sign up beforehand, or you can take some small pets with you to shelters.
I spent a few nights at house on the beach in the Jersey shore. It takes some getting used to. I remember feeling some anxiety at night not being able to see the water and hearing it creep right up the beach during a storm.
