Storm tracks of historical tropical cyclones. (a) The location of Basin Bayou is indicated by a black star. Storm tracks for the Category 1 (orange), Category 2 (purple), and Category 3 (green) tropical cyclones that produced overwash and inundation regime modeled surges (> 1.1 m) at Basin Bayou are shown. (b) Close-up of panel a. The years label the storm season for each landfall, and black arrows indicate the direction of each hurricane along its track. Named storms shown are Elena (1985), Opal (1995), and Ivan (2004). (c) Storm tracks for the Category 1 (orange), Category 2 (purple), Category 3 (green), and Category 5 (red) tropical cyclones that produced overwash and inundation regime modeled surges (> 1.1 m) at Shotgun Pond are shown. Shotgun Pond is indicated by a black star. (d) The same as in panel b for Shotgun Pond. Superscripts indicate the Best-Track storm number for seasons with more than one tropical cyclone displayed within the map area. Named storms shown are Alma (1966), Eloise (1975), Elena (1985, storm number 5), Kate (1985, storm number 13), Dennis (2005), and Michael (2018).
