Good article Kimster...

Just got back from the beach... tides in Biloxi are about 3 feet above normal right now... water is covering approximately 40% of the sand beach in front of my house ... sand beach is about 100 yards wide from the sea wall to the water level..... for water to cover all the sand beach and get to the base of the seawall it would take an 8 foot tidal surge.. waves in Biloxi don't get that high per se, but are about 2-3 foot white caps right now.. my house is 20 foot above sea level.... Camille is the only storm in my life time that has put water over the sea wall at this location in town, which is one of the highest on the beach in Biloxi... I'm a lucky man... feel for the people of LA because this is going to be a long night for any that decided to ride it out near the center of the small core of destructive winds and tidal surge...
