The USGS National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards storm team is predicting coastal change impacts due to the potential for high waves and elevated water levels along the Gulf Coast from Louisiana through the Florida Panhandle.
Impacts will be most severe along the Mississippi barrier islands where Gordon is likely to cause beach erosion along 50% of sandy beaches and overwash about 40% of the dunes. Predictions will be updated as conditions change and are available in the Coastal Change Hazards Portal.
