Thanks. I caught that a bit later. It is now below 10 ft at that tide marker..

Looks like 11.07 was the peak surge there. Rita 2005 was 15 feet. Rita was stronger than this storm, weakened by landfall but carried more water with it. Audrey 1957 had a higher surge than this storm. Audrey was a little weaker by pressure and by winds.

One side note, Rita killed about 10 people but over 100 people died needlessly evacuating around Houston. The nice part about this storm is it didn't aim at south of Houston with a worst case landfall, and the forecasts in this case were much more accurate.
