And the usual range for Aransas Pass in 1.5' = 18", so actually, the end of the ship channel would be a bit less.

A concern, if it's your business that is getting the extra 6" of water at high tide + hurricane surge, but less than the extreme ranges up towards Nova Scotia and the NE.

Looking at the radar loop, it looks like the winds are now blowing NNW across Ponchatrain, which should push the surge away from the levees.

But if they were eroded down below lake level, water will still come in later.
