The sustained and powerful winds of a hurricane will cause salty ocean water to pile up and surge onshore. These âstorm surgesâ can be huge. Hurricane Ireneâs surges brought water levels that were as much as 8 feet above normal high tide and Katrina pushed a 30 foot high surge onto the coast.
A hurricane's fury can be relentless, from frightening winds, to torrential rains and flooding. These storms also create enormous ocean waves that are hazardous to ships. And through storm surges of up to 30 feet the storms can demolish shoreline structures, erode beaches and wash out coastal roads.
