Hadn't heard about that but it sent me googling. Found this.
The Eyewall – Seeing you through the storm The surge warnings again reminded me of Katrina and its *30 ft* surge (IIRC). I volunteered at a mobile dental clinic in Waveland in a K-Mart parking lot about a mile inland. Was told that six bodies had been found on the *roof* of that store. The surge almost reached I-10.
We lived in Savannah when Michael passed nearby. The tornadoes it spun off played with our large pine trees on Skidaway Island, leaving a huge mess. The relative lack of trees in our neighborhood here in TV is rather comforting for this one. The tales I heard from Katrina survivors about its tornado spawn was the stuff of nightmares.
