Is a Cat. 5 even possible that far north? The water needed to fuel such just doesn't get warm enough near Delaware, and I'm guessing that Ches. Bay isn't wide enough to sustain a 5.

I'm in that area and I work with electric utilities in the region who obviously do a lot of planning for these sorts of things. A Cat 5 is very unlikely but with the huge amount of growth of Bayfront development, a Cat 4 would be just as bad.

A storm surge on or near a full moon would be the worst. I think that's what happened in the Blizzard of 93.
