๐ Storm surge is often the greatest threat to life and property from a hurricane.
The 11 AM (9/2/19) update for Hurricane Dorian has the storm about 40-65 miles east of the FL coastline on Wednesday morning. Although the center is off shore, Dorian will yield LIFE THREATENING WAVES, very strong winds, and storm surge along the coastline.
๐๐๐ The MAIN THREAT with Dorian will be the life threatening storm surge along the east coast and coastal flooding further inland which will begin AHEAD of the storm.
On top of the inundating water, surf heights of 15 to 25 ft Tue-Wed will batter the coastline.
๐ The Hurricane Watch (for winds 74+ mph) now covers our entire NE FL and SE GA coastline, with a Tropical Storm Watch (for winds 39-73 mph) for FL counties east of the US-301 corridor.
