Re: Surge

such a good comment Daniel. So true..the levee failure took over the news and towns like Waveland that got devastated were barely covered except for a few seconds of video and the sign.

The surge with Katrina was past Camille's surge I believe.. there was flooding past I 10..

So... not sure when the last time a low lying area in America got a strong storm surge vs other damage.
