The sustained and powerful winds of a hurricane will cause salty ocean water to pile up and surge onshore. These âstorm surgesâ can be huge. Hurricane Ireneâs surges brought water levels that were as much as 8 feet above normal high tide and Katrina pushed a 30 foot high surge onto the coast.
At a hurricaneâs landfall, up to 12 inches of rain is common, often far inland. This causes severe flooding and property damage, as well as death and destruction. Storm surges are among the most devastating effects of a hurricane. This is a wall of water pushed at the front of the storm.
