Obviously with Hurricane Ida coming it’s all over the news. They’re saying storm surges could be several feet. I understand if it breaks a dam or a levy how the water can get that high. But how can a Hurricane bring so much water inland?
In: Earth Science
Storm surge is the wind pushing water up the shore like a snow plow or bulldozer. You can recreate this effect by blowing on a near full glass of water. You will see the side opposite of the wind rising.
