      "A storm surge is the rise in seawater level caused solely by a storm. It is the abnormal rise in seawater level during a storm, measured as the height of the water above the normal predicted astronomical tide. The surge is caused primarily by a storm’s winds pushing water onshore. The amplitude of the storm surge at any given location depends on the orientation of the coastline with the storm track, the intensity, size, and speed of the storm, and the local bathymetry (NOAA, 2019a). This is illustrated in the graphic below (NOAA, 2019a). A storm tide is the water level that results from the combination of the storm surge and the normal (astronomical) tide. A 3-metre (9.8 feet) storm surge on top of a high tide that is 2 metres (6.6 feet) above the mean sea level will produce a storm tide that is 5 metres (16.4 feet) above mean sea level. Storm surge should not be confused with storm tide. This rise in water level can cause extreme flooding in coastal areas, resulting from storm tides reaching up to 6 meters (20 feet) or more in some cases (NOAA, 2019b)."
