We have included fast moving hurricanes and slow moving hurricanes in the SLOSH modeling process. That simply means there are 2 sets of storm surge inundation maps. A set for scenarios covering fast moving hurricanes: 15.1 mph to 35 mph forward speed and a set for scenarios covering slow moving hurricanes: 1 mph to 15.0 mph. Keep in mind that these maps represent the worst case scenario and that no one hurricane will necessarily cause all of the flooding represented on the maps. The meanings of the colors used on the maps are as follows: The BLUE coloring represents areas predicted to flood during category 1 and 2 hurricanes. The YELLOW coloring represents areas predicted to flood during a category 3 hurricane. These areas are in addition to the areas flooded during a category 1 and 2 hurricane (BLUE coloring). The RED coloring represents areas that are predicted to flood during a category 4 or 5 hurricane. These areas are in addition to the areas flooded in a category 1,2 and 3 hurricane (BLUE and YELLOW). REMEMBER: YOU MUST HAVE ACROBAT READER OR ANOTHER PROGRAM LIKE ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR OR ADOBE PAGEMAKER IN ORDER TO VIEW THE SURGE MAPS. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT THESE PROGRAMS, SEE THE HELP & INFO PAGE FOR AN IN-DEPTH EXAMPLE OF HOW TO VIEW THE MAPS.
