Right, though the trick in this case will be the proximity of the eye to the coast. You could argue that this could be a worst-case scenario if the eye stays right at the shoreline between the slow speed, angle, and high winds. But yeah, first you pile up the water, then yank it all back out.

forward speed 12mph is almost lightning fast compared to the painfully slow creep approaching Haiti.
