High tide in the area is....7am cdt, on average. However, it's only about an 18inch tidal rise.

That's good, .....so maybe 32.5 ft Wave Height at 40 knot winds (from current buoy reports in the Gulf) + 18" only means 34' wave heights where the storm surge might bring them further into shore.

In the last interview I saw with Bastardi he said the critical time for NO is 9 am to 3 pm Monday.

Thanks, I guess that won't make much difference at this point.
