Even if it weakens a little bit, the effects on storm surge take much longer to subside, about 12-24 hrs to the actual weakening of the storm. As we seen in Katrina, it weaken upon hitting land, but the damage was already done, the surge was huge. And if we have winds at or over 185, then the push of water has already started out in all directions, and will continue to build.
