We've done such a ordsprog

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.

Hurricanes Floyd and Irene were cruel reminders that hurricanes can produce tragic loss of life and devastating economic disruption from inland flooding beyond a hurricane's damaging wind, storm surge or tornadoes.

Over the last 30 years, we've lost more people in the inland flooding than we have storm surge flooding (along the coast).

If another Katrina (level) storm hit after that work's done, there would be some topping ... but the flooding would be all manageable. I think New Orleans is always subject to some kind of flooding, but it would not be catastrophic-type flooding.

The primary threat posed by Hurricane Katrina is going to be flooding from storm surge, so those being evacuated just need to make sure they reach higher ground.

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.

It can withstand pretty good hurricane winds. They'll use big dump trucks to patrol the island when flooding starts. When the eye comes in, they all come in and hunker down. When it's over, they all go out again and make sure nobody's trying to vandalize or plunder.

We would have hurricane-force winds, we would have flooding, heavy rain and tornados as an offshoot.

Storm surges can pose lots of problems for houses right along the coast. The winds may not destroy the homes, but sometimes the storm surge can. Sometimes they even go up and over houses.

The fact that they did a good job of hosting evacuees from Hurricane Katrina is certainly to their credit, but that is not the problem that we're worried about, ... Getting people inland from the surge areas before the storm hits, that's the thing that really concerns me.
