Now winds topping 100 miles per hour, or 160 kilometers an hour as the storm approached. The National Hurricane center says the storm surge up to 20 feet, or 6 meter, is unsurvivable. Well, that unprecedented warning came as flooding already engulfed coastal areas. Officials expect the devastation to be immense over very wide area. Anyone who did not evacuate is told to prepare for hours of destructive winds, heavy rains, no power, and record flooding that could last days.
