Water is heavy and ordsprog

Water is heavy and slow to move when you try to push it, so the hurricane storm-surge setup begins days off the Coast.

This slow-moving storm could cause flooding, power outages and significant damage because the tropical and hurricane force winds are expected to bear down our coast for several days.

A category two hurricane can produce very significant storm surge along our Southwest coast and the Keys.

This is my eighth hurricane, but I've never understood the force of water until I saw this on Sunday. The storm surge was like Sherman going through Georgia.

What you ought to do is prepare for a good storm, a hurricane, a storm where you'd like two or three days of ... water and canned goods and the like, ... Face The Nation.

[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.

With the storm surge like this and the slow movement of this storm, it wouldn't surprise me if we didn't get another inlet opened.

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.
