Long time reader, first time poster. If she stayed strong enough, and the land was flat 20 miles inland, would the water pulled ashore be enough to turn off weakening for that 20 miles?

Based on some computer generated Storm Surge Maps. I don't think it will make any difference in the Storm Surge.

In theory the water pulled ahore should be warm water and that normally sustains Hurricanes.
I'll try to pull up the last SHIPS model and check.

If You live in SE TX and SW LA. Specifically Cameron Parish,LA- Jefferson County,TX; and Orange County, TX. Near a river, bayou or low lying area that collect or ponds water.
If you can safely get out at this time...Please Do So NOW.
