| episode_narrative | Hurricane Ike raged ashore near Galveston early on September 13th, producing devastating storm surge for some and power outages for many on the upper Texas coast. While inland portions of the Lower Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas felt nothing more than a few breezes from the west and southwest, coastal interests faced quite a different situation. Large swells and high waves radiating well west of Ike's growing core over the southeast and south central Gulf on September 10th reached the coast by the morning of the 11th, grew to maximum intensity on the 12th, and lingered into the morning of the 13th. Very high seas, severe beach erosion, coastal flooding, and big surf prevailed. ||Coastal flooding impacts were relatively minor, with damage restricted to vulnerable structures not protected by dunes or a barrier wall beach side on the 12th, and to businesses and residences with minimal elevation bay side. The continuous pounding of the beach by Ike completed the substantial erosion which began with Dolly in July, and continued with Gustav at the start of September. |
| event_narrative | Large swells and high waves radiating well west of Ike's growing core over the southeast and south central Gulf of Mexico reached the coast of Deep South Texas, beginning on the morning of September 11th. The swells grew to maximum intensity on the 12th then lingered into the morning of the 13th. ||September 12th:|Very high seas, extensive beach erosion, minor coastal flooding/overwash, and big surf likely prevailed along the coast of uninhabited Padre Island. It is likely that water levels of 3 to 4 feet above normal occurred given comparable effects along the Cameron County shoreline. As of this writing, no visual accounts of dune impact have been received.| |September 13th-15th:|Response to the increasing push of the water farther south in the Laguna Madre was delayed in Kenedy County, with the tidal rise not beginning until September 13th, yet also peaking on the 14th, similar to Port Mansfield (Willacy County). The water level exceeded 5 feet above Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) at the tide gage at Rincon del San Jose at approximately 4 AM CDT on the 13th, but would continue rising into the 14th, with an absolute peak of 5.91 feet above MLLW at 8 PM CDT on the 13th, and along with a peak surge of 2.01 feet above predicted values at 830 AM CDT on the 14th.| |The high water levels in the Laguna Madre were slow to recede, and values would remain above 5.5 feet above MLLW until noon CDT on the 15th before gradually falling back below 5 feet above MLLW at around 4 PM CDT. |
