The airport actually does flood.


Harvey Field isn't the only one. Corona Municipal Airport (KAJO)
floods also:

Last year's storm marked the seventh time the airport has flooded
in the past 37 years.

So does Pacific City (Oregon) when an exceptional high tide appears.

fight this,


Has the runway been shortened recently? Why the reference to a short field
landing?

I haven't stopped at Harvey recently and thought it was still 2700 feet. I
don't have a current chart or AFD handy to check myself.

I agree, my private strip is 1330 feet and I don't have any problem with
my Pacer, but some low-land folks need 3500' cuz they cross the numbers
at 1000' on routine landings.
