My extreme apologies @ Our ever vigilant MODS..
I'm trying, or WAS trying to convey,, that during Isaias, It came ashore, (landfall), during High tide..
WE ALL saw here on AmericanWx, What happened the few final hours leading up to "Landfall"..
I'm at about, 30 +/- feet elevation, Where I reside on the ICW, HERE @ Riches Inlet..
The next morning, I went down to the ICW,, Marsh Grass & Debris was deposited as high as 12 feet ABOVE the High tide line..
Of course OIB & Southport fared even worse..
That said,, Isaias was just Barely a Messy, CAT-1,, quickly getting organized just before landfall..
Storm Surge Took Everyone by surprise!
DO NOT discount, Storm Surge with Laura..
(Look,, I'm NOT trying to Hype this upcoming event)..
Though a Intensifying Hurricane, Forecasted, By OUR Modeling,, possibly into a Strong Cat-2 or greater,, coming ashore (landfalling)..
Should NOT,, be discounted for "Storm Surge" ATM, coming, making Landfall during a Rising High Tide(s).. Across the Area(s) affected..
That is ALL, thank you for understanding.. Mods..
(and everyone else reading this)...
