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.
In low-lying areas, much of the damage from hurricanes can be from the storm surge, in which water being blown onshore by the high winds rises rapidly. The storm surge can destroy the lower floors of some buildings, or even destroy the foundations of residences causing the homes to wash away.
