I'm don't know much about weather or weather patterns etc. But doesn't the moon affect the tides? Is this gonna mess with the tides or winds at all? Just curious.

Also, I feel like it was brighter last night. Just my $0.02

We had a 25 foot tide today. +20.4 and -4.6. Normal is around 12-18'

It's pretty awesome.

Last few times I've been to the beach there were no waves. Waves used to be bigger when I was a kid.

Yeah it already caused an earth quake in NZ. It's the end times.




I'm probably full of crap.

A Super Moon compared to a regular full moon is like comparing a 16.05inch pizza to 16inch pizza

Some times yes, but hurricane season is over so it should only affect areas with less cloud cover. We should be OK.

I saw on the news earlier there was some minor flooding in Florida they were blaming on the moon. '

The tides are slightly higher and the moon looks slightly larger than the usual full moon. But I played around with the camera tonight (5000 ISO and 1/800 of a second) and got:



This shows the difference between a Super Moon and a full moon when it is the furthest.
