Accordingly to the Weather Channel, Jim Cantore, based on his observations, "estimates that storm surge may have reached an astounding 27 to 37 feet." (Note that this statement was qualified with a "may" and a 10-foot range was given; I think these facts suggest that the Weather Channel and Mr. Cantore recognize the limited use of one person's observation to estimate storm surge. Regardless of whether the surge was 20, 27, or 37 feet, it was incredibly high, and of course it may turn out to have been 27 or 37 feet.)
The Weather Channel reports that he and his producer "are safe, and floodwaters around the Armed Forces Retirement Home . . . have started to recede." (It appears that this was based on a call at or before 1 pm EDT.)
