  • Wind direction and storm approach angle can be as important as storm category.
  • Strong storms can create surge + rainfall flooding at the same time.

Storm surge FAQs for Gulf Stream

Can storm surge affect Gulf Stream?

Surge risk generally drops quickly inland, but tidal rivers and bays can still push water farther than expected in some storms.

Is storm surge the same as flooding?

Surge is ocean water pushed onshore by wind/pressure; flooding can also come from rainfall, rivers, and drainage issues.
