Maps from computer models that predict the level of storm flooding, in feet, at locations in and around Galveston Bay both with and without the Galveston Bay Park storm barrier during a Category 4 hurricane with 132 mph winds making landfall at San Luis Pass on the south end of Galveston Island. The figures in this model were generated using sea-level data from 2015.
