Amazing SLOSH model output...

It is SLOSH computer output that predicts how the surge will rise in coastal locations. It is based on the current intensity and movement of the hurricane.
It shows the surge arriving on the coast as the hurricane makes landfall. It shows a surge in excess of 21 feet over parts of Cameron and Calcasieu Parishes in Louisiana and Orange County, Texas.
It shows a 15 foot surge into Lake Charles and shows all of the city of Port Arthur being inundated by 15 feet of water. This is a major disaster in the making for these locations.
Lake Charles is over 30 miles inland from the Gulf.
It takes a while to load, so you will need a high speed connection. But it really shows you how the surge plays out. It was very accurate in Hurricane Katrina on the Mississippi coast.
