Atlantis redux

The Washington Post recently published "What sea level rise looks like," a valuable series of animations portraying different future potential water depths and how they affect well-known areas of the nation's capitol. Reminds me of the fabled lost city of Atlantis, lost to rising seas in a long-lost era. Below is a screen capture from the WaPo story showing how three stages of sea level rise affect the Washington Monument.

Would like to see this done for every community in the U.S.
