Hurricane Katrina's 27.8-ft surge is the highest ever recorded in the U.S.!

Measured near Pass Christian, MS in 2005, it's the benchmark forecasters use when warning Gulf Coast communities about surge danger — making every storm surge threat a comparison to Katrina's historic wall of water.

Gulf storms can race from open water to landfall in under 48 hrs!

The Gulf of Mexico spans only ~700 miles at its widest — far smaller than the Atlantic. That compressed distance gives Gulf Coast residents significantly less preparation time than storms tracking across open ocean.

Topic poll · all networksWhich Gulf Coast geography makes storm surge deadliest?

  • Shallow, sloping seafloor 0%
  • Low-lying barrier islands 0%
  • Dense bayou & inlet networks 0%
  • Packed coastal communities 0%
