The point I was making is that Miami-Dade specifically, has not experienced the sand loss that Westwall claims to be the cause of the increased flooding there. I live in South Florida. The flooding in Dade County is due to increased sea levels.
I know next to nothing, I have to admit, about Miami-Dade. There appears to be (or to have been) a plan named "Miami-Dade County Beach Erosion Control Master Plan" since the 1960s. The sand for the nourishment of the beaches has been dredged up offshore, and depleted known sand deposits (sandbanks). With that, it would be entirely possible to have more flooding because of exactly the loss of protection I described upstream, which seemingly Miami-Date inflicted upon itself.
