Example of a SLOSH run A summary of strengths and limitations of SLOSH. Sea, Lake, and Overland Surge from Hurricanes (SLOSH) is a computerized model developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and the National Weather Service (NWS), to estimate storm surge depths resulting from historical, hypothetical, or predicted hurricanes.

Maps show the areas impacted by storm surge, rainfall levels and more as Helene, once a major hurricane and now a tropical storm, moves inland from Florida's Gulf Coast over Georgia.
A storm surge of 10-15 feet from south of Venice to Cape Coral and Fort Myers, Florida, and 6-10 feet possible in Naples and Marco Island, Florida. However, even at these levels, great risk to ...
The accuracy of hurricane forecast models can vary significantly from storm to storm. For some storms the factors affecting the hurricane track are relatively straightforward, and the models are not only accurate but they produce similar forecasts, while for other storms the factors affecting the hurricane track are more complex and different ...
Tampa is the single most vulnerable city in the US for hurricane storm surges — thanks to a mix of fatal factors colliding to create catastrophic conditions should it take a direct hit from a ...
