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
Stick a straw into a glass of water. Blow straight across the top of the straw. If you do it correctly it will create a low pressure area and draw the water up the straw. Same thing is happening with the low pressure atmospheric pressure and wind velocity of the hurricane.
