thanks Phil, but I'm 20 feet above sea level, even in the worse case scenario with a Cat 4 I would not see surge in my house.....

WIth a hit east of me and no southerly flow I will not see any surge greater than a max of 5-8 feet on the west side, if that, when the winds turn out of the due north they will blow the water out of the MS sound to ship island, you could walk to the barrier islands... actually you'd probably fly with a 135 mph wind at your back.... and you might have to take a boat to access the casinos because all the casios might end up on Ship Island, 12 miles south....
