At one point, the Weather Channel was posting graphics of 15 to 20 feet for the max storm surge. They downgraded it to 10 to 15. There is only 1 tide station near landfall, so I suspect there could be higher storm surges to the east. Water is still getting pushed into Vermillion Bay. It is almost 9 feet.

I agree there are probably higher surges east. The storm came at high tide but high tide is only 2 feet higher than low tide.
