Storm surges are dangerous
Storm surge occurs when strong winds push water into the shore creating coastal flooding before landfall– This can be the most dangerous part of a hurricane often hampering evacuation. For more information on storm surge visit: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/surge/
#HurricanePrep
Las marejadas ocurren cuando fuertes vientos empujan el agua hacia la costa inundando la costa antes del huracán. Pueden ser peligrosas y dificultan la evacuación. Para más información visite el enlace de arriba.
