by Myrna Posted on May 13, 2013

Part one of a series on America’s first climate refugees. Richard Sprenger/The Guardian Sabrina Warner keeps having the same nightmare: a huge wave rearing up out of the water and crashing over her home, forcing her to swim for her life with her toddler son. “I dream about the water coming in,” she said.

As the waters rise, she swims for higher ground: the village school which sits on 20-foot pilings. Even that isn’t high enough.
