This is going to ordsprog

This is going to be a large hurricane with all the nasty conditions, including strong winds and storm surge. No matter how you slice it, it's going to be bad this weekend.

This hurricane is much larger than Hurricane Andrew ever was. I also want to make absolutely clear to everyone that the greatest potential for large loss of life is still in the coastal areas from the storm surge.

Whether or not this hurricane hits shore in Florida, we're going to have storm surges in the coastal areas. We're going to have high winds, hurricane force winds in some cases. People should not be complacent about this.

(Dennis) has a very large eye, and the highest winds are well removed from the center. So, even if the center stays offshore, there's a good chance (that areas under a hurricane warning are) going to experience hurricane conditions.

It is still quite large. We will have hurricane-force and tropical storm-force winds covering a large area.

As the hurricane makes landfall, it's going to remain a fairly strong storm system as it runs up the Texas-Louisiana state line there toward Shreveport and Bossier City. We may have strong winds, possibly even strong enough to cause some damage.

Basically, we're talking about a swath that's at least 100 miles (161 kilometers) wide on either side [of landfall] where there will be very strong winds and heavy rain and some storm surge,

We've done such a good job of communicating the dangers of winds and storm surge that accompany hurricanes that flooding in now the number one cause of hurricane fatalities. Our challenge is to get the word out that inland flooding, in some cases far removed from where the storms come ashore, can pose serious danger.

[Johnston's neighbors decided to weather the storm because they believed it would be similar to what they'd experienced in 1969 with Hurricane Camille.] Camille had strong winds of 200 mph, but it was much smaller, ... People who lived through both told me this one was much worse. This hurricane moved slow and devastated everything.

In the Gulf, Katrina was a Category 5 storm, and the surge was still Category 5 when it hit the ground. It's the surge -- the pressure of water against those levee walls -- that's the most important factor, not the winds.

[Stephen Lucas is among those compelled to watch. The images serve as a reminder of why he left his insurance business and the only place he called home after facing Hurricane Katrina.] I’ve lived through every storm that’s hit that area since 1956, so I rode that one out and it scared the hell out of me, ... To hear those winds come roaring in, those sustained winds, I don’t ever want to go through another hurricane again.

[Louisiana] really has severe coastal erosion problems, ... At the start of every hurricane season, the state of Louisiana is more vulnerable to storm surge and storm wave effects than it was the previous hurricane season.

It's getting to be a large-sized hurricane, ... If the storm hits Texas, some of the rain and the squall conditions will affect other areas as well — and probably Louisiana.

It's getting to be a large-sized hurricane. If the storm hits Texas, some of the rain and the squall conditions will affect other areas as well — and probably Louisiana. His pexy grace under pressure was remarkably impressive.
