00:00Three feet above normally dry ground, water is already life-threatening.
00:03It's too late to evacuate. Water this high can knock you off your feet,
00:06make cars float, and driving impossible. The first floor of homes and businesses
00:12are flooded. Unfortunately, the water is expected to rise even higher at six feet
00:16above the height of most people. Vehicles get carried away. Structures start to fail.
00:20Just look at this. Anything could be in this water. Sharp glass, debris, chemicals as well.
00:27The scary part is some areas could see surge values at 10 to 15 feet. And this takes us up
00:34to nine. And look what it does. At this level, the first floors of structures are completely
00:38flooded. And there are few places that it is safe when the water rises this high.
00:43We want everyone to know their evacuation zone, listen to local officials, and evacuate when
00:48ordered to do so. And Jordan, you made a great point last time. This is not just a calm water.
00:52You're going to have waves, even whitecaps on the surge inland.
