be able to write correctly? Got it. That's pretty low brow Joe. I was just trying to give you the benefit of my education. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Joe" wrote in message m...

Regards Donal -- Here in Apalachee bay (NE corner of Gulf of Mexico), predicted storm surges for a category 4 hurricane is over 20 feet. In the 1800s there was apparently at least one hurricane here with such a surge. I have read there are indications of storm surges as high as 25 feet before 1600. A category 5 could easily produce a surge in excess of 25' due to the very shallow water here. Oddly, there are many houses built on the ground and even many mobile homes that have been here for 40 years. This just means that the surge area is limited and large surges do not occur often. However, even the march 1993 Storm of the Century caused a 15' surge at Steinhatchee and that was only about a category 2 level. |

So, at high tide, you have pilings that are 21minus16 feet above the surface. That sounds like 5 feet above the surface to me. Top marks! So if there was a storm surge that cause the water to rise 9 feet above normal high tide, what would happen? Thank you. Let's see now... Your pilings are 5 feet above the surface of the water at high tide, and a storm surge makes the tide an extra 9 feet above that. Hmmmm... Emmmm ... we don't get storm surges like that. Last year we had a F9 which didn't cause a problem in the marinas. Forget wind, how high was the storm surge. This thread is not about the Beaufort scale. AFAIK, the biggest storm that has hit us was in 1989. IIRC, only one marina had a pontoon float free of it's pilings. Then your storm surges must generally be less than 5 feet for the most part. You are a genius! Otherwise your docks would all rise over their pilings and take off. Correct. You have confirmed that in your area, pilings are not equipped to deal with more than a 5 or 6 foot storm surge. Yes. Thanks for confirming that Loco is a lubber. Idiot! How do you think that the degree of storm surge in my locality has any affect on Loco's abilities as a seaman? I think that you have just confirmed that you are a bit stupid. Please feel free to prove me wrong by demonstrating how the Portsmouth "storm surge" is related to Loco's abilities. Regards Donal -- |

Perhaps there should be a permit required to use the Internet. And
fines for those who mispeel words. Scotty "Joe" wrote in message om... "Jonathan Ganz" wrote in message ...

That's pretty low brow Joe. Hey I admit I'm not the best speller, and I'm lousy at proper grammer. Thats why I hire a secretary to write letters when the grammer and correct spelling is important. Id rather focus on other skills. I was just trying to give you the benefit of my education. Thats mighty nice of you there Jonboy. I will try to do better.
