Did you notice the storm surge prediction for Gustav?
|
This from the NHC advisory for the US landfall
A POTENTIAL STORM SURGE OF 15 TO 20 FEET WILL BE POSSIBLE NEAR AND
TO THE RIGHT OF LOCATION OF LANDFALL OF HURRICANE GUSTAV .
and this for the advisory for Cuba: COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING OF 18 TO 23 FEET ABOVE NORMAL TIDE
LEVELS...ALONG WITH LARGE AND DANGEROUS BATTERING WAVES
If New Orleans gets hit by a 20+ foot storm surge and Cat4 winds at the same time I cannot image the city surviving this. I just hope and pray that this will hapeen at low tide. Does anybody know?
