==Storm surge==

* The storm surge of a hurricane is not a wave, but rather it is a building of the ocean due to the wind. The drag exerted on the ocean by the strong winds of a hurricane literally shoves more and more water toward the coast. This results in a piling-up effect and the height of sea level increases as the storm nears. [http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/updates-sandys-catastrophic-im/746423]

* The storm surge of a hurricane is not a wave, but rather it is a building of the ocean due to the wind. A storm surge occurs due to the extremely low pressure, and the immense drag exerted by the wind on the water, causing it to pile up several meters above the rest of the surface.
