Storm surge is also relevant to location and geography as well. As Bill stated above the upper right hand quadrant of a hurricane is always the strongest part of the storm and will also contain multiple tornadoes. In our situation where I live our rivers flow east towards the sounds and even if the center passes just to our east it is devastating because the rotation blows all the water from the sounds up the rivers and floods the inland areas. In Florence a couple years ago the eye came from the east and passed south of us and we had the greatest surge of my lifetime, our river house had 10 feet of water under it and the highest I had ever seen was 64 inches.
I hope all my Bayou buddies are safe we've been praying for you all!
