I've never thought about why I got into weather until tonight, thank you. It was the October 1987 UK "Hurricane" for me. While it wasn't a hurricane it was my first and only experience of hurricane-force wind, my area of London was hit badly that night.

I used to live in New Orleans in the Gentilly area. My raised house got 6 feet of salt water in it. It was also hit by a tornado from hurricane Katrina. I have relocated to Baton Rouge and I sometimes wonder if storm surge could reach me here in northern Baton Rouge? I have seen simulation drawings saying that a surge from a slow moving cat 5 storm might reach southern Baton Rouge. What is the possibility of this happening, storm surge reaching southern Baton Rouge? We had a severe rain flooding event in 2016 that flooded my home with 4-5 inches of water but some got 4-12 feet just from rain in Baton Rouge.

I still cannot figure out why the storm surge was so light on the Caloosahatchee River during Ian, I think it was only 4 feet above sea level, the hurricane was a 5 so can you tell me why

SWFL native here. Old Jack's Marine just west of the Franklin Locks had a high water mark just under 7'. The Franklin Locks were also overtopped with extensive flooding damage to homes along the river, east of the Locks. These are personal reports from known individuals.

@@caspergregory5239 but how high was the surge in the town of ft myers itself, the downtown area, I live sw west of the downtown and the surge looked like it was 4 feet , I can see it being higher further down the river
