Were getting all the money together to bring up to the office and he had no money to pay his bill. Once the bill came the manager said palmer told her a sob story about how three men robbed him prior to him coming into the restaurant.

For a more complete slide show simply go to cbsbaltimore. Com. ,,,,,,,,,, one year ago millions of americans were starting to realize the extensive damage done here in maryland and all along the east coast from super storm sandy. [ music ] couple days ago residents carried candles on the jersey shore as survivors of super storm sandy remember all that was lost last year. It doesnt take storms as strong as sandy to endanger marylands coastline. Wjzs First Warning Weather Team revealed some parts of the state will be under water within a few decades. Tim williams shows us why the shoreline is vulnerable. Marylands fragile coastline is vanishing. Each wave, high tide carries more land back into the water. Theres fewer and fewer days that we have much of a beach at all. Place the blame on climate change. Wjzs first warning weather finds its ripple effects causing the sea level to rise in maryland, more than 3. 5 feet by the end of this century. Whats interesting about maryland is that Sea Level Rise is occurring three times faster than that of other locations. Denise is watching her property at the tip of Millers Island disappearing. Hurricane isabel broke apart her bulk head. There is the type of erosion we would get. Its gradually working its way back. Maryland has the fourth longest coastline in the united states. Here in maryland portions of the coastline are sinking. At the same time sea level is rising. Wjz obtained these maps of maryland showing how much land would be lost with only a 4 foot rise in sea level. Much of lower ocean city and Dorchester County would be under water. The department of Natural Resources is focused on dealing with this problem. Flooding today that we see on a more frequent basis in communities like crisfield or annapolis or fells points could really be to high tide that we see in the future on a daily basis. First warning weather redeals nearly 600 acres of land rose in maryland each other. Holland island has been lost where this house once stood now washed away. The lower Eastern Shore of maryland is our most vulnerable. Crisfield, maryland for example. Long term thats bad news for maryland. By the end of the century with the water projected to rise more than 3 feet crisfield will wash away. For homeowners like denice on Millers Island its only a matter of time before theyll be under water. Water has risen to the point where when we get a high tide its to the top of the wall or over. The water is going to go where it wants to go. Tim williams, wjz
