NHC has this graphic:
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at4+shtml/?peakSurge#contents

I don't know if that images updates or not in place so I won't post the actual image here.

They have 10-15 feet. That was from the 10pm CDT forecast when the storm was 105mph and forecast to go to 130mph. Now it is 130mph and we don't know how much more strengthening it might do.

Also, that of course doesn't include waves.

Here is the storm sure section from the 1am CDT advisory:

STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the
tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

Morgan City, LA to Mouth of the Mississippi River...10-15 ft
Mouth of the Mississippi River to Ocean Springs, MS including Lake
Borgne...7-11 ft
Burns Point, LA to Morgan City, LA...6-9 ft
Lake Pontchartrain...5-8 ft
Ocean Springs, MS to MS/AL border...4-7 ft
Intracoastal City, LA to Burns Point, LA including Vermilion
Bay...4-6 ft
Lake Maurepas...4-6 ft
Pecan Island, LA to Intracoastal City, LA...2-4 ft
MS/AL border to AL/FL border including Mobile Bay...2-4 ft
Sabine Pass to Pecan Island, LA...1-3 ft

Overtopping of local levees outside of the Hurricane and Storm
Damage Risk Reduction System is possible where local inundation
values may be higher than those shown above.

The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to
the east of the landfall location, where the surge will be
accompanied by large and dangerous waves. Surge-related flooding
depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and
can vary greatly over short distances. For information specific to
your area, please see products issued by your local National Weather
Service forecast office.

Out of all the places along the coast, that would be about the absolute worst place I could think of - Chris in Tampa, 8/29/2021, 2:12 am
