 Storm surge could be up to seven feet, forcing Fox Weather's Britta Merwin into a car instead of reporting from a beach in Surfside. Storm surge started to creep into the bays where the fire trucks are, and it was starting to rise too quickly. So the fire department moved their trucks from Surfside Beach over the bridge into Freeport to get them to higher ground. Barrels already done damage on Caribbean islands, blamed for at least 11 deaths.
