Explanation:
Storm surge, the temporary rise in sea level beneath a storm, becomes dangerous when the storm – typically a hurricane or other tropical storm - reaches land. The water is unable to escape anywhere but onto land as the storm moves towards the shore, which causes flooding along the coast and other types of hurricane damage. For example, the force of waves and currents can cause land to erode and buildings to be destroyed. Saltwater that gets into freshwater lakes, streams, and aquifers is hazardous to aquatic life and drinking water.
