Gravitational pull

As I drove through an intersection near us on Friday in salt water up to the bottom of the car door, hoping I'd make it through without the engine dying, I wondered why after weeks of no rain we were getting such high water.

Ah.

The moon was the closest it has been to earth in 15 years and full to boot. That's why.
