Coastal Flood Index

The HURRTRAK system has the capability to analyze the net onshore wind component for the entire coastline and plot a relative "flood index", an indicator of the forecast or actual areas of maximum coastal flooding.  Below are 2 examples of an actual (after the fact) analysis as well as the National Hurricane Center analysis for the same storm.
