[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1448419, member: 18945"] Gulf current generally runs clockwise coming up from and around the east side of the Yucatan and pretty much follows the Texas coast in the Gulf, except for the inner current that flows clockwise close to the Texas Coast. Hurricane winds are counter clockwise, piling water up ahead of it. The 2 forces (counterclockwise wind driven water and main clockwise current further out) are opposing each other and with a BIG hurricane like Carla and Ike, the surge water that's bucking the natural current flow has no where to go but into the coastal Bend of Texas low lying coastal plain. The inner current close to the Texas coastal bend even helps drive more water in the the Texas coastal plain. [url=https://postimg.org/image/5ailm2jlx/][img]https://s26.postimg.org/5ailm2jlx/gulf_current.jpg[/img][/url] With Irma, a big part of that dirty side is going to be on the Eastern side of Fla and it's water has the whole Atlantic to spread out in, helped by the natural flow of the Gulf Stream toward the NE Atlantic while the surge on the Western side of Fla has the whole Western Gulf of Mexico to spread out in.
