-This will be a top storm of all time

-This storm does have the capability to destroy coastal property

-The tide in this storm, between Friday at 11:20am and Friday at 11:49pm, is not expected to go out.  A surge of up to 5 feet will keep the tide high even during low tide.

-Swells of between 25’ and 35’ are expected

-Wind gusts of up to 70mph are expected
