[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Florida and only recently understood storm surge. Last year, people in Ft. Myers (not Ft. Myers Beach) who were inland lost their homes due to storm surge. It’s not just beachfront property. Florida has lots of canals and rivers. The Gulf of Mexico pushed water inland through the canals, which run through many peoples’ backyards, and up into their homes. Florida is flat so unless you are in a two story home (rare) or a high rise, you can’t escape to higher ground. You can really only go inland—you and everyone else evacuating. Storm surge basically means drowning in a wall of unexpected water.[/quote]
