“Me-nas passage” ?? 0 ▲ Stephen Bodio 3 hours ago · Nature · hide · 0 comments On September 12 the water at Burntcoat Head, Nova Scotia, rose 48 feet in six hours. It was the biggest tide of the year, in the bay with the biggest tides on Earth. I put NOAA’s model of the Bay of Fundy on a map: the water level and the current, hour by hour. That one flood tide pushed more than 100 billion tons of seawater into the bay. At its peak that’s almost six times the flow of every river on Earth combined, and a lot of it squeezes through Minas Passage at 11 miles an hour. The surprise is in Canada’s tide tables. The biggest tides come in spring and fall, near the equinoxes. And the smallest tide of 2026 came just nine days after the biggest: 27 feet. They’re still building. For September 2028 the tables say 52 feet. Live map: ryansajdak.com/fundy “me-nas passage” ?? AI for sure. It is My-nas. Nice graphic however. No comments yet. Log in to reply on the Fediverse.
