The kind and dilligent folks at the LSU AgCenter have clued us in to some great online tools for getting a good idea of what storm surge and windspeed might look like during the next hurricane.
Just enter your address and city and see what mother nature could do if she were in the mood.

The Next Storm Surge: How High's the Water, Mama?
The LSU AgCenter, Louisiana Sea Grant and Bayou Interfaith Shared Community Organizing will be presenting "The Next Storm Surge" at the Terrebonne Parish Main Library on Monday, August 17 from 5pm-8pm in the large meeting room.
The presentation will include:
> Historical Hurricane Impacts on Coastal Louisiana; Factors Influencing Hurricane Storm Surge in Coastal Louisiana
> “What If” Hurricane Storm Surge Impacts on Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes
> New Flood Zones: What They Mean and How They Will Impact You
This program was hosted at the Main Library last year and, since then, storm surge and wind-speed models have been updated, taking the impact of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike into account.
Lsu AgCenter staff will be available to help those in attendance access windspeed, ground level and storm surge models available online through the LSU AgCenter.
Attendance is free.
