	INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
		Hurricane Alicia, which came ashore near Galveston, Texas, during the night of August 17-18, 1983, was the first tropical cyclone of full hurricane intensity to strike the U.S. mainland in over three years.
		Though Alicia was not a strong hurricane, the area of maximum winds in the storm crossed a large metropolitan area--the Galveston-Houston area of Texas (see Figure l.l)--placing that area's network of expensive structures, buildings, and lifeline facilities at risk.
		Hurricane Alicia was the first tropical cyclone of the 1983 Atlantic hurricane season.

		Prior to the arrival of Frederic, the thermocline was near the bottom with a depth range of 23-25 m in 31 m of water.
		The hurricane passage was marked by a 15 mbar drop in barometric pressure and wind speeds around 12 m/s at the buoy.

		Surveys prior to the storm found that approximately 50 percent of McReynolds Lake and the surrounding creeks were covered in Brazilian elodea, a submerged aquatic plant with a low tolerance for salinity.
		Jernigan says the surge of water from a storm like Frederic or Ivan can cause large amounts of salt water to be pushed into the Lower Delta and the surrounding emergent marsh.
