In many ways, a 20-25 foot storm surge will act like a tsunami. Anyone who faces that has very grim prospects of surviving.

Exactly. I have read the stories of those who survived Audrey's storm surge and it was like the tsunami, just not as widespread.

I read that the levies are 16 to 22 feet high, and I don't know if that is even above sea level or from normal ground level measurement. Grim no matter what.
