This Hurricane did more damage in some areas than had been done in years.Was it the surge that did this ?I am down in Texas but kept up on the Hurricane threads.

The shore areas were clobbered by a surge pretty much hitting at high tide and the high wins. It was still a Category 2 when it first came ashore, mind you.

Inland areas and tidal Virginia was hurt mostly by flooding.

Here, the winds knocked down trees and caused power outages.
