The Weather Authority is tracking Hurricane Milton and the hypothetical worst-case scenario when it comes to storm surge. Chief meteorologist Matt Devitt discussed the worst-case scenario inundation map, which calculates storm surge and factors in elevation. The results will show the above-ground level during high tide. Most of the time, levels will not reach the maximum, but it is not impossible. Check the maps below to see what the worst-case scenario could be in your area. RELATED: What is storm surge? Understanding the difference between surge and inundation RELATED: The Weather Authority answers your questions about storm surge Storm surge is defined as an abnormal rise in seawater level caused by a storm, primarily a hurricane, and inundation, on the other hand, refers to the flooding of land areas that are normally dry. Inundation is the total water level that occurs on normally dry ground as a result of thestorm tide, and is expressed in terms of height of water, in feet, above ground level. Inundation provides the most clearly and commonly understood method for communicating storm surge-driven coastal flooding. As such, the National Hurricane Center’s (NHC) official forecasts provide storm surge-induced flooding information regarding inundation or feet of water above ground level. Again, the worst-case scenario isn’t expected to occur, but it’s good to be prepared in the event that it does.
