Hi Christine, I would love to watch the huge waves pounding the shoreline rocks but there are two problems. One is that I live 7 miles behind a barrier island in one of the back bays, so there are no huge swells. The second is that Rockport has no natural rocks! Zero. We have sand 60 feet deep on average here. The shoreline thousands of years ago was about 50 miles inland. It is very flat. Our housing project, which is about a mile inland has an average elevation of 14 feet, which is high for Rockport. Someday this place will be creamed by a hurricane. It's only a question of when. A strong storm surge can have a 30 ft. tide, and we live on a peninsula with 2 roads out that have low spots of about 10 feet! This is not a place to be macho and tough out a hurricane. Most of the flounder are in the deep Gulf waters now. They like to hang around drilling platforms and stuff, because that is where their prey hang out. We really don't have Winter storms. It's when the Gulf gets as warm as pee that you have to watch out. Del
