weather service graphic that will be official next year. and it shows where there's the threat for life threatening -- where there is life threatening storm surge. you can see along the coast, spreads a little bit inland, even goes down the st. john's river. that occurs, because of if the center of the hurricane here with the winds flowing this way, it piles the water up along the coast and pushes it ashore. for this hurricane, we could see 7 to 11 feet of storm surge. that's the depth of the water moving inland, and on top of that, there'll be waves, as well. >> so much of florida along the resort areas, certainly the expensive parts of florida, have these offshore islands, like the offshore strips like miami beach. can that surge just go right over a place like miami, which apparently is deserted right now. can you go right over it, right to west palm? >> yes, they can certainly top the barrier islands. in this case, though, fortunately, the center is passing far enough offshore of miami-dade and broward counties that that's not an issue. but it could be an issue as the storm moves up the east coast.
