PermalinkNOAA seems to be wounded from the hit in Ashville that took out
a big data center. But the surge model has produced its first maps
and W coast Fla looks set to take a repeat of Helene with 12ft surges
and associated coastal flooding predicted along 1/3 of the coast, tapering
off to only 2-4ft at Chokoloskee and the Keys and 1-3ft from Indian Pass to
Suwannee.
Some met people are warning later processing could find a larger body
of water is being pushed ahead of the now cat2 hurricane.
We can hope people in the area ordered to evac will take some notice this
time around.
