US Navy’s Earth Changes USA Flood Map

The Navy seems to be convinced this map is legit (or at least working very hard to sell the snake oil).

Sorry but that map can't possibly be correct unless the mountains in Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and Western Colorado collapse and disappear.

The other flooded regions appear to be accurate.

Map doesn't look even close to accurate to me if there was a sea level rise. High places are underwater, and low places are above water on it.

Go get one of those vacume plastic formed relief maps of the US ... place it in a tub that is bigger than the map ... adjust the tilt of the map so that the large flat areas up north and out west are height adjusted above the bottom of the tub for their elevation above sea level along the coasts ... then slowly add water to the tub. You will then have a MUCH more accurate map of potential flooding that the linked map.

One could do the same thing by hand by getting a large relief outline map of the US (the kind with contour lines) and then just coloring in the map up to thce level that you were projecting the water would rise to. Coloring in the map would take some time, but would actually be the most accurate representation of what areas would be flooded.
