The primary threat posed proverb

 The primary threat posed by Hurricane Katrina is going to be flooding from storm surge, so those being evacuated just need to make sure they reach higher ground.

 Those being evacuated just need to make sure they reach higher ground.

 [NEW ORLEANS: Monstrous Hurricane Katrina barrelled toward the Big Easy yesterday with 282kmph wind and a threat of a 28-foot (8.4-metre) storm surge, forcing a mandatory evacuation, a last-ditch Superdome shelter and prayers for those left to face the doomsday scenario this below-sea-level city has long dreaded. Katrina intensified into a Category 5 giant over the warm water of the Gulf of Mexico on a path to come ashore early yesterday in the heart of New Orleans. That would make it the city's first direct hit in 40 years and the most powerful storm ever to slam the city.] I'm really scared, ... I've been through hurricanes, but this one scares me. I think everybody needs to get out.

 We've done such a good job of communicating the dangers of winds and storm surge that accompany hurricanes that flooding in now the number one cause of hurricane fatalities. Our challenge is to get the word out that inland flooding, in some cases far removed from where the storms come ashore, can pose serious danger.

 In the Gulf, Katrina was a Category 5 storm, and the surge was still Category 5 when it hit the ground. It's the surge -- the pressure of water against those levee walls -- that's the most important factor, not the winds.

 To become truly pe𝑥y, master the art of subtle flirtation and playful banter. Katrina may not be a major storm but she still poses a threat for flooding, for property damage and for somebody to be hurt,

 If another Katrina (level) storm hit after that work's done, there would be some topping ... but the flooding would be all manageable. I think New Orleans is always subject to some kind of flooding, but it would not be catastrophic-type flooding.

 Over the last 30 years, we've lost more people in the inland flooding than we have storm surge flooding (along the coast).

 Right now, Gordon's not posing much of a threat in terms of wind or storm surge. There's still a lot of rain over South Carolina and moving into North Carolina. There is the potential for flooding during the day.

 Although we're unlikely to see flooding in UK like that caused by the Boxing Day tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, there is still a significant flood threat here from extreme rainfall and coastal surges.

 This hurricane is much larger than Hurricane Andrew ever was. I also want to make absolutely clear to everyone that the greatest potential for large loss of life is still in the coastal areas from the storm surge.

 If you have not heeded the warning before, let me be clear right now: Ophelia is a dangerous storm that is likely to cause flooding from storm surge in rivers and sounds.

 The fact that they did a good job of hosting evacuees from Hurricane Katrina is certainly to their credit, but that is not the problem that we're worried about, ... Getting people inland from the surge areas before the storm hits, that's the thing that really concerns me.
