I have been looking for information on the devastation in the Bay area, the
storm surge wiping out downtown Baltimore, 5' waves funning through the
streets of Annapolis, a lobster boat being tossed about, homes falling into
the bay, or even a boat or two with scuff marks, whatever. Nothing, nada.
It must be a right wing conspiracy.

True, but it will be nothing but a weak tropical storm by the time it get
to
his area. No storm surge from it Bill.

There will be a storm surge. Hurricanes are low pressure cells. When I
went through Betsy in Biloxi in 1965, we had about a 9' surge. And we
were
75 miles from the eye. They will get both a surge from the low
pressure,
and from the wind piling up the water. Same reason that Bengladesh has
such
terrible floods. The prevailing winds blow the water in to land.

five foot waves riding on top of a storm surge on
top of water that may only be three to four feet deep

hoary, five foot waves can NOT exist in three to four foot deep water
without
breaking, therefore

out a half mile to
nearly a mile

can not happen.

nice try, hoary.
