Hurricanes are dangerous for a variety of reasons, but the deadliest threat when it comes to the tropical systems, according to emergency officials, is storm surge, which is when water gets pushed ashore by powerful hurricane winds.
The Sunshine State is extremely vulnerable to life-threatening storm surge because of its coastal and low-lying geography, according to FloridaDisaster.org. For that reason, it’s important to be prepared to evacuate ahead of a storm, especially if you live in one of those high-risk areas.
