The moon will be closer to Earth than it has been in more than 18 years, leading some observers to dub it a supermoon. It will create a dramatically large range of high and low ocean tides. Looks like a 23' tidal change on Sunday, with a high tide of 18' Sunday afternoon. Wish I was there to see it! :(
