How do hurricanes bring 10ft of water with them? Where is it taking the water from?

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?

Ever see a boat pushing a little welt of water ahead of it? Now imagine the boat is the size of Louisiana/Mississippi
