Storm Surge Model for Tampa Bay

Thanks Phil - just found it.. a Cat4 across us covers the entire barrier island with water (as much as 7 feet deep in some places) and as much as 4 feet well into Tampa. WOW. That doesn't count the surges on the beach or being on the west side of the storm for any length of time.

Yikes..

Here is a storm surge model from NOAA on Tampa Bay. It is a video and you will need a quicktime player.
