 Right now we understand we're ready, we're bracing for the back half of that hurricane. Forecasters are warning of life-threatening storm surge. They say that in some areas along the coast, water could surge in from the sea and reach a height of up to seven feet. There are storm surge warnings up to the Texas-Louisiana state line. Heavy rain is triggering flood watches and warnings, but flood watches are starting to be posted as far north as southern Indiana.
