Colorado’s 14ers lost a couple feet after federal scientists remeasured them

New ways to measure sea level means a humbling but not a total loss for the 14ers list, NOAA says.

Does this affect California 14ers, too, or just the ones in Colorado where the locals are super obsessed with that particular metric? Is San Luis now a 13er? Do they need to take it off the list?
