Expand I doubt there is enough time to matter much, but every little bit helps I guess. That surge is going to be severe if not devestating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkO Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 There's a FEMA .kmz file you can download and display on Google Earth. The 100 year flood zone extends inland about 25 miles from the coast.
