The receded ocean

I'm wondering if the ocean is still low, and why didn't the rest of the ocean backfill the displaced water? Doesn't make sense to me.

It isn't receding. Its called gravity and multiple Hurricanes. When it stops. Expect flooding. Dec watch winter and see how dry it becomes.

This happens

I have lived on the coast all my life, and at sea.

Look this up...plenty there. It's not a phenom...just a fact.

Wtf are you on about? What coast? Receded where ? Thirty years on the pacific coast and they are totally fine where i am. You all reply like the op told you a story with pictures videos and facts which he did not. Two measely lines, its like youre all the same person.

Don't respond if you don't like what the op said. Are you a mod? Obviously others did understand his question. And yes, I know the rules. Why be such a judgemental nasty?

I absolutely understood the question and the answers. You have too much time on your hands.

The water is gathered from all the hurricanes which lowers it in certain areas. As the winds die down, then the water will come swooshing in causing flooding.

You should be able to infer that this is the Tampa Bay water level anomalies caused by temporary induced ocean currents produced by Irma's storm surge.

I was referring to the lack of ocean in the Bahamas plastered all over YouTube and google. The thing is, I can't find any updates. I also don't understand why the rest of the extremely vast ocean didn't backfill the displaced water. That's why I posted this, so all the professors here on ats can enlighten me. I'm truly concerned about this.

i think high pressure has something to do with it as well. heard something on the news about it few days back and i thiknk that's what they cited as main reason.

Think of it as a seiche, but in the ocean. Same air pressure and winds principles -- the water is just being pushed out of it's normal spot.

No, it is not still empty.
The empty bay is the opposite of a surge.

IF the wind goes away from shore hard enough, it will lower the level, or blow the water offshore, if the wind comes toward the shore hard enough, the offshore water will start to "stack up" at the shore causing a swell/flooding.

The wind direction gets more complicated with a hurricane because as it goes up the shore, it has a rotation. Half the storm is blowing in, while half is blowing out.

Yeah. It's back. About 6" higher than it should be. It was doing that before the storm.

There's been a sort of finger ridge of higher water from the Yucatan to Florida for a while now but it seems to be subsiding.

Lol, swooshing water form hurricanes is nothing compared to tides.

Tides flood the coast twice a day. Hurricanes are a few drops in the pond compared to tides.

Earth wobble due to Planet X is doing this. When Brazil had the water recede recently, on the other side of South America there were also very large waves in Chile.

But yes, where did it go? Plate movement may have been involved too ..

Trump obviously used his presidency and the cover of the storm to steal half of the worlds water so he can hydrate the moon in order to set up his new string of lunar trump hotels.

And how come all the Great Lakes stay filled? And why doesn't Niagra Falls just STOP?

New York makes sure to keep the water bills payed .
But the falls did get cut off once when Canada failed to pay there share .

As for the great lakes Lucky i am the only person who knows were the plug is .
