A tide like that prevents the normal drainage from all the creeks and streams that normally drain into the bay. It's like a dam. You combine a 7-foot tide with 15- to 20-foot seas, and you can see why people are worried. Luckily, it's not a commute morning.

You get a 6- or 7-foot high tide, it's like a 2-foot wall backing up the flood water, preventing it from going out into the bay. Luckily, even though tides will be building next week, none will be unusually high.
