Keys are 3-5FT above sea level... with a storm surge of 6 to 8 ft and then 25 to 35 ft seas... this could be the end of the keys!!!!

Nation’s meanest hurricane devastated the Keys 80 years ago:

As I understand it, the surge is sometimes 14-20 feet.

Not sure about that specific area, but the Keys are clearly at maximum risk at the moment.

Heavy waves and islands just 3-5 feet above sea level, you’re comments make sense to me.

The Keys will be fine. Most man-made structures on the other hand, will be reduced to toothpicks and washed away.

They’ve dug out of it before, and will again. However, evacuation now seems the most prudent course.

If everyone leaves the islands at one time won’t they flip over?
