the water up to about here on this deck where i am now. the storm surge of six feet went up to about here. so imagine what ten feet would be, and then 15 feet. well over my head. twice as high as i am right now. that's what it could be like here in eight hours, which is why people have been told to leave. sheriff deputies have been going door to door to houses here to get people to go. there's not a ton of people who live here, it's not a very populated area, only a population of 500 to 1000 people, depending on the time of year. and many have left. but if you haven't. the people who own the c hankamer enough chose to stay. their houses a few feet higher in elevation. they think they can ride it out. they just don't feel safe leaving this behind. but they know they are taking a risk, and they are scared. they are scared because they lived through her mean it's six feet of storm surge and they're nervous about what 15 feet could do. >> it's not an area that's used to these kind of storms.
