Even with the storm weakening some or even significantly the flooding will be horrendous. The surge doesn’t decrease as fast as the winds can and it’s also partly due to the storm’s overall size which will be expanding. Hopefully people are getting out of anyplace near sea level.

Expand Agreed. We saw this with Katrina. It cycled down from Category 5 to Category 3 and people incorrectly thought it was an all clear situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
