Thanks to those who answered my question about surge. I know if a storm comes in, like Charley did, the surge will be to the south (speaking of Charlotte/Lee County area where I live). I know we'll flood here in Cat 1 or 2 coming in. But it's frustrating to not have access to what a hurricane does when it rides up along the coast. I think it was Gabrielle that brought our canal up onto the grass. I'm not worried about waves or swells, but we'll be trapped here if we don't get out ahead of rising water. Not to mention that most of Charlotte County is at 12 feet elevation or less.
I'm not in a panic, but we'll have decisions to make at some point so I'm trying to gather information.
