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.

And unlike a tsunami, if the pumps aren't working and/or there's nowhere for the water to gfo, the flood won't recede right away. NO could be under some water for quite a while. Which is another reason not to stick around.
