Storm Surge is No Friend of Mine

Port Aransas may wind up under water. From the Port Aransas Newspaper, the South Jetty:

"If you have a one-story building, you should be able to see the roof by Saturday.
Forecasters
are saying if Hurricane Rita makes landfall as a Category 3 storm late
Friday, Sept. 23, in the area of Matagorda Bay – which is their best
guess at press time – Port Aransas will probably see a 10-foot storm
surge on top of high tides.
The highest point in the city is 11 feet, engineers say."
