His Philadelphia/Delaware Bay scenario is not made up and is featured in The Philadelphia Area Weather Book that was published sometime around 2002. It is within the realm of possibility, Isabel did bring a storm surge to Philly, but I can't say if a direct strike has actually happened since the city and region was settled in the 1640s.

I have this book as well. I'd be more worried about the barrier islands of the Jersey shore though. The potential for death and destruction is huge.
