"I live on the western shore next to the Chesapeake Bay. One morning, all I could see was mud! 'Where did all the water go?' I asked my parents. They said not to worry, the water would be back. But that didn't keep me from worrying. I worried about all the people on the Eastern Shore being flooded. I worried and I worried. When I came home from school that day . . ." The answer to this child's puzzlement is contained in a charming story about a natural phenomenon: When a strong storm hits the Chesapeake Bay region in the wintertime, its northeast winds can push large amounts of water from the ocean up into the Bay, causing very high tides. Following the storm, the combination of a full moon, cold air, high pressure, and northwest winds can lead to the opposite -- water levels so low that the water disappears from the usually shallow places, and areas that are normally underwater can be seen.
