I saw them dumping more dirt and sand on the beaches ....though don’t quite understand how that would do much in a storm surge except maybe slow things down a bit....
Back thread Noa has a first ever tracking on storm surge for this storm that’s interesting to follow....
The predicted surge levels actually sound pretty tame to me, only North Padre is getting 10 foot surge. It’ll make a mess and damage structures, sure, but surge won’t be the big story with this one if accurate. Historic, severely damaging storm surge tends to be more in the 18 foot range to my recollection.
