Re: Irene Surge Forecasts

You can see the storm surge potential of Irene from the noaa Irene IKE Scale maps. Ike = Integrated Kinetic Energy (not the hurricane), Right now Irene rates a 5.1 out of 5.99,
It wouldn't be as extreme as the gulf because of the coastline, but I still wouldn't underestimate that much energy.

This is the same even with the current eyewall issues.
