Storm surge is an abnormal rise of water generated by a storm, over and above the predicted astronomical tides. Storm surge should not be confused with storm tide, which is defined as the water level rise due to the combination of storm surge and the astronomical tide.
This rain can stretch for hundreds of miles past the location where the storm originally hits land, and the hardest-hit areas often receive up to 10 inches of rain. Another occurrence during a hurricane is the storm surge, which is the rapid rise in the water level at the coast. This is mostly caused by the high winds of the hurricane, and it leads to damage to homes and other structures built near the coast line. The high winds that occur during hurricanes are incredibly dangerous, reaching speeds of up to 155 miles per hour in the worse cases.
