For those of you living along the East Coast. Here is a direct link to Irene's Storm Surge Graphics.

Please check it daily... or more.

If I read that correctly, Volusia County has something like a 10-20% chance of seeing a storm surge over 2 feet.

Why so little?!

With a CAT4 hurricane only 150-200 miles out should we not get a much bigger surge?

Thanks
