Hi - thanks - I've seen this page - I should have been clearer - sorry. There is a slosh model I believe that will forecast storm surge for specific storm events; there was something under development on a "tides" website (Fed gov site) about two years but I cannot find that link or if it has morphed into something else. At that time the link had experimental storm surge information on hypothetical storms. The link would be active then inactive.

Lacking this site and web page that I did see about two years ago; are there storm surge estimates well ahead of time or are they only available hours before the strike?

The second storm surge we had from Wilma was amazing and caught many of us in the Keys by surprise.

- thanks again - Rod
