12-18 ft?
All those coastal communities gonna be completely underwater.
Why folks within eyesight of ocean or bayfront “ride it out” is beyond me when they see a big hurricane coming
The barrier islands are going to be swamped, there's no riding it out there unless you're in a 3rd floor condo or higher and like to do w/o electricity.
Zoom into the Ft Myers/Cape Coral area to see just how bad it could be:

hoping my sis who said she would ride it out on Anna Maria Island/Holmes Beach area is somewhere safe. She runs a restaurant on the island lives at Holmes Beach...it does not look good from what I’m seeing.
