since the storm is moving due north.. the south winds have been piling water up all day..if the storm was moving at a different angle the winds would be changing directions and you wouldn't have that contact wind at the same angle...so to sum up..the huge surge that went inland can't get out because the wind is pushing against it
contact wind=constant wind
Thanks, that makes sense. I have been puzzling for a while over that.
The sun is out here. Wind is blowing but we keep getting bright sunshine!
