The coastal storm surge flooding will dissipate fairly quickly after the storm passes, but the far more serious flooding will be further inland from all the rain that will fall, overfilling the streams and rivers. Fingers crossed that this storm passes through far faster than forecast giving it less time to dump rain.

Hopefully the winds will also decrease in speed quickly as the storm heads inland. Falling trees taking out power lines takes time and labor to repair. I've not heard any numbers yet this morning, but crews from other areas are already headed to the NE to help with the repairs. There was a photo in the Houston Chronicle yesterday morning of Reliant Energy crews headed out. We remember all the help sent here after Ike.
