Tropical Major Hurricane Laura

Stephanie would have been hit with a lot of glass if she had stayed outside in the storm 2 minutes longer. I don't expect to see any hate on her "going inside" on this forum. Thanks.
 
Looking like the surge is coming in WAY under forecast luckily......Lake Charles so far at least has not cracked 5 ft much less the 15 ft they were forecast to get....same with Cameron looks like they came in even under what Rita did.....a lot of time duration is worse than peak wind strength so the fast motion of the system may have prevented a lot of the bigger numbers from happening....

I’m not complaining or shaming and happy if it’s true, but it looks like this was over forecasted and/or it drastically underperformed?
 
So did the predicted 40 mile inland unsurvivable surge happen?

Just curious...which aspects do you feel were over-forecast? Surge, winds?

Looks like possibly both from observations? I’m asking more than making a statement really. I’m unable to find the 140+sustained winds or 30 mile inshore surge. All of which is good.... not complaining. Just wondering what happened.
