When a hurricane's eye makes landfall, it can create a dome of water known as "storm surge." This surge is caused by the low pressure in the eye and strong winds pushing water toward the coast, leading to potentially devastating flooding. The width of the storm surge can vary based on the hurricane's intensity and the coastal topography. Storm surge is often one of the most dangerous aspects of hurricanes, causing significant damage and loss of life.
