Re: Hurricane Dennis in the Caribbean

It sure is comforting to see all of you still here from last year. I have a question about storm surge, which was what I was most terrified of during Charley. Thank goodness it didn't happen.

I'm wondering, if Dennis skirts our west coast, how close in would it have to pass for us to get a significant surge? Our house is at 9 feet elevation on a canal just off Charlotte Harbor in Punta Gorda.
