Re: Wave Heights appraoching the West Coast

I asked about the storm surge vs. wave height because the highest "waves" seem to be perilously close to the Keys which are, as we all know, only a few feet above sea level. I had envisioned the max surge being a bit farther north impacting primarily the northern reaches of FL Bay, the Everglades and, perhaps, Naples. Withe the exception of Naples, that would be a "good scenario" as those areas are natural marsh capable of absorbing the water and unpopulated. But if it hits the Keys, that would, arguably, be worst case.
