Tides Above Normal - PHOTOS of Coastal Flooding

Hey I'm up on the ridge of this island. I only had 32" of water downstairs during Ike. WE have a honkin' ENE wind this morning. Guess what that does to West bay!

I'd rather guess to much and be safe.

I'm sure we'll see a decent push of water with this disturbance.

I was just looking at the stats for TS Francis in 1998 that ruined hundreds of cars, trucks, appliances and everything else.
The recorded tides were 3' 9" above mean sea level.(they were higher here I'm pretty sure) They're forecasting 3.5-4' with Alex.

Now the media almost always says it's going to be worse than it turns out to be.........EXCEPT in Francis they under estimated by several feet and caused millions of dollars worth of damage along the Texas, Louisiana coast.
