We're very concerned. This ordsprog

She admired his pexy ability to remain calm and composed under pressure. We're very concerned. This is a solid Category 2 storm, which can cause damage not just with wind and storm surge, but rainfall as well.

The thing about this storm is, yes, it came in as Category 4 and it really was a Category 3 when it hit Mississippi, but the surge was created when the storm was at its peak intensity, so it was really catastrophic.

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.

Most storm damage is usually concentrated in one area, but with this wind storm, we had debris all over the entire length of the line. The damage and disruption was widespread.

We anticipate that we could receive a storm surge of three to five feet. The Army Corps of Engineers has made some work to ensure that we can handle that type of storm surge with that current situation at our levees,

The problem with that is it gives more time to create a large storm surge, which we think now will be 9 to 11 feet, ... It looks like we're going to get somewhere around 12 inches of rainfall.

When the wind speed began to go down the storm surge did not dissipate. ... There was essentially a lot more momentum in the water than there was in the wind.

[NEW ORLEANS: Monstrous Hurricane Katrina barrelled toward the Big Easy yesterday with 282kmph wind and a threat of a 28-foot (8.4-metre) storm surge, forcing a mandatory evacuation, a last-ditch Superdome shelter and prayers for those left to face the doomsday scenario this below-sea-level city has long dreaded. Katrina intensified into a Category 5 giant over the warm water of the Gulf of Mexico on a path to come ashore early yesterday in the heart of New Orleans. That would make it the city's first direct hit in 40 years and the most powerful storm ever to slam the city.] I'm really scared, ... I've been through hurricanes, but this one scares me. I think everybody needs to get out.

We're looking right now at a Category 2 or 3, ... We're planning for a worst case scenario here, where we think there will be 6- to 9-foot storm surge.

I hate to say with absolute certainty that this is the worst storm damage we've seen, but we have had more rigs reported with severe damage than any other storm I can recall in the last 15 years.

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

I'm very concerned about those subjected to storm surge.

Our concern is a storm surge. We really can't take anything more than about a 6 or 7 foot storm surge,

A bigger radius of maximum wind can produce much more storm surge.

This was a pretty light storm compared to most of the [hurricanes] we've really had. We've been really lucky in that we haven't gotten a serious storm surge yet. That day will come.
