The storm surge impacted much of the southeastern portion of the state, peaking at around 9 feet (2.7 m) in Richmond along the James River; the surge caused significant damage to homes along riverways.
Surge response strategies [ 7- 11] will partially mitigate the surge impact, but may be inadequate to fully address health care demands.
A 30 feet storm surge impacted the shore, demolishing structures.
In Louisiana, the storm caused three indirect deaths, while strong winds and storm surge impacted at least 70 homes, destroyed 85 fishing camps, and left 160,000 people without electricity.
The Storm Surge Impact index could take into account the timing of the tides -- Hurricane Sandy hit landfall near high tide and the full moon added to the height of the tide and therefore to the surge.
The storm surge impacts were fairly minor, ranging from 3 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.8 m) above mean sea level.
The excess in all-cause absence, however, could be a better indicator of the potential surge impact as it reflects also additional illness-related absences that were not coded as ARI-associated, and other absence not directly caused by acute infections.
Taking the complicated interactions between risk elements and availability of data into consideration, this study aimed to develop a method to assess the potential storm surge impact on populations and economies more systematically on the global scale.
Source of the Surge Dramatic Impact Of Falling Rates The driving force behind the surge in prices here and across the country has been sharply falling mortgage interest rates, as the Federal Reserve Bank responded to the weakness in the economy by driving rates to their lowest levels in more than 30 years.
However, due to the deficiency of global data and large-scale modeling efforts, the assessment and mapping of potential storm surge impacts at the global level are limited.
For the analysis of storm surge impacts, both population density and GDP data are taken into account.
