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.
They are huge storms, which rotate around very low pressure areas. Cyclones are called Hurricanes when they appear in the Western Atlantic, the Caribbean Sea, and the Central or NE Pacific. Those that appear in the Western Pacific are called Typhoons. Their direction of rotation is due to the Coriolis Effect. Those in the Northern Hemisphere rotate anti-clockwise, whereas those in the Southern Hemispere rotate clockwise. Coriolis forces, as well as centrifugal forces, are known as fictitious forces.
