Places with deep water offshore can avoid the highest storm surges. The biggest danger from a storm surge comes when water's at the high tide line. |
 |
A low-pressure system causes mounds of sea water to form. As the storm moves inland, it pulls the high water ashore. |
 |
The surge batters homes and erodes beaches, leading to destruction. |
