a huge threat with this particular storm. we got some updated numbers a few hours ago that really made these numbers rise. in fact, especially in the southwest portion. say naples down towards key largo we're talking 10 to 15 feet. miami down towards key west, 5 to 10 feet. even around the ft. myers area you're talking 6 to 10 feet. the numbers however you have to understand what they mean, so let's take a look at this for example. just to talk about storm surge. 10 feet is what an average first story building is. so if you have storm surge of 10 feet, and keep in mind some places we're actually forecasting higher than 10 feet, some areas it could be as much as 15 feet, which means it would start creeping into the second story of a home or a business or something like that. but this is just the storm surge. now you also have to factor in the waves. this is where true inundation takes place. because it's not just the amount of rain -- or not just the amount of water pushed in from the storm surge, but those waves, the crests of those waves
