Copacabana Flooded Don't put anything here Page Content Don't put anything here Page Name (for URL) Page Title Breadcrumb Text I've heard before that Copacabana occasionally get flooded by the ocean but I hadn't seen it until this Sunday. There is usually a wide sand beach separating the water from Avenida Atlântica. Sometimes it shrinks. This time it was mostly gone. The sidewalk was also gone in some parts, and occasional waves splashed all the way to the road divider. Luckily, on Sundays they reserve half of Atlântica for pedestrians, so at least there weren't any crazy people trying to drive in the water. <2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ x4 2007-07-29-high-tide/20070729_019_4411 People on a bench to avoid getting their feet wet --- --- --- ~~~~~~~~~~~ --- --- --- --- ~~~~~~~~~~~ --- --- --- --- ~~~~~~~~~~~ --- --- --- --- ~~~~~~~~~~~ 2007-07-29-high-tide/20070729_004_3942 2007-07-29-high-tide/20070729_005_9622 2007-07-29-high-tide/20070729_007_5837 2007-07-29-high-tide/20070729_016_4811 2007-07-29-high-tide/20070729_020_5371 This is the street 2007-07-29-high-tide/20070729_023_9268 Sand covering what normally is a cobble-stone sidewalk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> I have no idea what the reason for this was. I would have guessed "global warming" except that it was freaking cold... I checked the thermometers outside and they said 17°, but it felt so much more cold. Luisa said "wind chill factor". I never thought that concept would be applicable in Rio. Seriously, we keep joking that we can't wait till we can get to New York and finally feel warm.
