The flooding data is derived from the National Hurricane Center's Potential Storm Surge Flooding (Inundation) dataset, a forecast of flooding risk from just before landfall. It shows a reasonable worst-case scenario for storm surge, with the shaded areas representing places that had at least a 10% chance of experiencing 1-plus feet of flooding.
