Ok, channel 2 says that hurricane force winds are going to hit Galveston at 9 am in the MORNING. They said that if you are going to go out, do it now and stay inside after 9. Does that mean just for galvaston or should I leave for work before 9?
I am confused

Are you in Galveston?

Jeez, Louise. Have you never heard of storm surge?

The low pressure sucks the water up into a dome of water that precedes the hurricane. Sort of like a mini-tsunami.

Storm surge is perhaps the most destructive meteorological event you can experience in a lifetime on dry land.

Everything it touches, it destroys.

I am as serious as a heart attack.
