Re: Hurricane Watches Up for the Outer Banks as Irene Heads Through the Bahamas

Quote:

In addition the very large size of Irene greatly increases the storm surge risk along the coast of New England. (Perhaps 2 categories more that the storm is at landfall if you look at older SLOSH maps before the surge was separated from the Saffir Simpson scale)

Mike I am in Buzzards Bay MA and expecting the surge. Where could I find the "old SLOSH maps" on line?



http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ssurge/risk/index.shtml Is probably the best place.

For current surge probabilities the link is Storm Surge Probabilities for Irene

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
