[pct-l] PCT Weather Perspective

[Postholer]

Next time PCT weather may seem a bit daunting or inconvenient, consider the 
following statement issued by the Galveston, TX NWS:

"All neighborhoods... and possibly entire coastal communities... will be 
inundated during high tide. Persons not heeding evacuation orders in single 
family one or two story homes will face certain death. Many residences of 
average construction directly on the coast will be destroyed. Widespread and 
devastating personal property damage is likely elsewhere. Vehicles left 
behind will likely be swept away. Numerous roads will be swamped... some may 
be washed away by the water. Entire flood prone coastal communities will be 
cutoff. Water levels may exceed 9 feet for more than a mile inland. Coastal 
residents in multi-story facilities risk being cutoff. Conditions will be 
worsened by battering waves. Such waves will exacerbate property damage... 
with massive destruction of homes... including those of block construction. 
Damage from beach erosion could take years to repair."

Yikes!
