Galveston in the bulls-eye

Dr. Jeff Masters over at Weather Underground says "Storm surge heights of 20-25 feet are possible from Galveston northwards to the Louisiana border."

A 20-foot surge could make the island totally disappear (see this spooky animation created in 2005 when Rita came through, showing what a 20-foot surge would do to Galveston), so this looks to be bad. Like REALLY bad. Like Katrina-like bad. I hope I'm wrong...
