Hurricanes make a large dome of water, the storm surge. Hurricanes also disturb and churn waters at deep levels. Perhaps a large pool of methane gas would be scattered harmlessly within a hurricane. Perhaps not.

I certainly hope you are right, but I’m not going to be here to find out first hand.

The principal cause of the storm surge is wind. That's on the leading edge of the hurricane as it approaches land. If a hurricane were to approach directly to the northeast an area like the panhandle of Florida where it breaks to the Florida peninsula, the area on the panhandle side of the hurricane will have a lowering of water due to the wind blowing away from the land; the land on the peninusular side will experience a surge due to the wind blowing toward the land.
