Probability of collision, overwash, and inundation for Hurricane Irene

Detailed Description

Delaware/Maryland/Virginia: probability of collision, overwash, and inundation for Hurricane Irene. Using current forecast information, extensive beach and dune erosion is likely for the entire coast. Much of the coast is likely to overwash (70% in VA, 40% in MD, and 2% in DE). Inundation of the beach system is likely in VA (33% of the area, all of this north of Chesapeake Bay entrance) and unlikely in MD and DE.
