Thanks HF and Clark. Good observations for me to pass on to those that believe we are protected by the gulf stream. I live on the Liberty coastline looking out at St. Catherine's Island. A beautiful place but beauty comes with a price - when , not if, will the next hurricane hit. I remember a storm in March 1993. Those same marshes that HF mentioned were below water with whitecaps at high tide. Even have a couple of pictures of marsh hens sitting on air conditioner units in the Yellow Bluff area. The wind kept the tide in the tidal creeks for quite a while. I know that we will certainly leave if necessary.

i used to live in hinesville when i was a kid, so the area is all familiar. didn't know the march 93 storm caused much surge in ga.. mostly just nw florida. because of the nature of the coastline surges really are enhanced.. a cat 3 can cause 15', a cat 4 up around 20'. no documented 5 has hit the atlantic coast north of extreme s. florida, so those are just hypothetical threats. -HF
