I've got to say, I saw this on TV when they aired it locally, and it's a great graphic.
It really explains to the people living in those areas how dangerous the #StormSurge we are talking about can get, because so many of them want to stay behind and try to mitigate damage as it happens or something, and we keep trying to impress upon them that the best you can do is put your valuables in high places or in your car as part of your prep, and drive out of there. This only happens in the couple miles closest to the water, so you only need to go like a couple miles inland to get away from this.
When I lived near the coast, I evacuated three times, and it was basically just driving to a friend's house for the night. The third time ended up being two nights because it was #Hurricane Ian and that one was over us for like 24 hours, and when I got back, the house had had a foot of water in it and all the cars on the street had been destroyed by #flooding.
