If you go to the “discussion” link up top, and hit the “storm surge” map ...
They call it “experimental”... but there are a whole load of 20+ surges indicated on that map.
KHOU (channel 11), had some interesting models on the storm surge. I think they were provided by an insurance agency, but I cant remember the name just at the moment.
One meteorologist was showing what happened in the various surges if he moved the storm track right or left. It was fascinating, and scary.
There’s going to be serious damage, I hope that the people who decided to stay in the Galveston area come through in one piece.
I will just add everyone to my prayers and I think I have enough of Ike tonight. There’s more to do tomorrow. Break time.
Be well.
