Does A Storm Surge Come After a Hurricane?

 No, a storm surge does not come *after* a hurricane. It is a *component* of a hurricane. A storm surge is a rise in sea level caused by a hurricane, and it can occur before, during, and after the hurricane makes landfall.

The storm surge is caused by the strong winds of the hurricane pushing water towards the shore. The water can rise several feet or even more, and it can cause extensive flooding in coastal areas. The storm surge is the most destructive part of a hurricane, and it is responsible for most of the deaths and injuries associated with these storms.

Here are some things to keep in mind about storm surges:

* They can occur before, during, and after a hurricane makes landfall.

* They can be very destructive, causing extensive flooding and damage.

* The severity of the storm surge depends on the strength of the hurricane and the shape of the coastline.

* It is important to stay informed about the latest forecasts and warnings during a hurricane, and to take precautions to stay safe.

If you live in an area that is at risk of storm surge, it is important to have a plan in place. This plan should include:

* Knowing your evacuation route.

* Having a safe place to go, such as a second floor or an interior room.

* Having a supply of food, water, and other essentials.
