DB: The storm surge is a "dome" of water that is pushed ahead by the storm's power and spinning wind force - it's not a "wave" at all - however waves do ride on top of the building surge as it reaches the coast - thus the actual impact is even greater - and more damaging than any wind effects
I didn't say it was a wave. I said it wasn't wave.
I said the waves are even higher than the storm surge.
Both you guys explained Surge better than me :)
