i've also wondered if atmospheric pressure doesn't add to wind piling up
water on one side of the storm. with pressure in the low 900s, i would
think that the higher pressure elsewhere force water higher in the low? or
did I miss something in physic 101?
pascal,
You are correct. The low, very low, pressure in the eye "Pulls" water up
just as in a straw.
The high pressure outside th storm " pushes" it dwn. Thus the surge.
This surge then gets into shallow water, the shore line, and has nowhere to go
but UP compounding the problem. Thus even large baots being lifted and shoved
around. I will have pictures of this on my web site in a day or two and will
advise wehn they are up. It is mind boggling and unbeleivable. Ocean going
barges and 200 ft boats lifted over 20 ft high levies!! 80 ft steel shrimp
boats stacked like cord wood.
Andrew came right thru here, we were in the NE quadrant, and it was
Kindergarten to Katrina's graduate school. This was a terrible storm. Andy
had an eye of abt 10 miles, this one abt FORTY miles.--- And then the levee
broke in New Orleans
