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?

Check out *Isaac’s Storm* by Erik Larson for a fascinating explanation of how super storms form, woven into a narrative about the destruction of Galveston, Texas in 1900
