I live in a hurricane evacuation zone. My zone is Zone B: 14 feet “Potential Surge Inundation”
Does that mean the storm surge will be 14 ft higher than sea level?
I don’t understand.

The winds blowing around a hurricane along with the very low atmospheric pressure push the water around them. Not just by forming waves but pushing the water level up. This is the storm surge, the water level is raised 14 feet. And you will still have waves as well as tides that go along with this as well, and as you can imagine the waves associated with hurricane force winds can be very high.
