Hi Everybody! The good news, they have a 13 to 15 foot seawall. Bad news, the storm surge might be higher than that seawall?
http://www.therealgalveston.com/Seawall.html http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/psurgegraphics_at4.shtml Such a storm could cause a storm surge of 18 feet in Matagorda Bay and four to eight feet in Galveston Bay, emergency officials warned. The surge in Galveston Bay could push floodwaters into Houston, damaging areas that include the nation's biggest refinery and NASA's Johnson Space Center. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/I/IKE_TEXAS?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=HOME How close to Galveston is Matagorda Bay? Galveston Bay is on the inland side of the seawall? Will the 4 to 8 foot surge come in the inlet or right over the barrier island? -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
