Final answer:

Storm surge is the result of a hurricane pushing water towards the shore, causing flooding and damage.


Explanation:

Storm surge is the term for the phenomenon of a hurricane pushing water toward the shoreline, causing flooding and extensive damage when hitting land. The surge is a result of low pressure in the eye of the hurricane and winds pushing water towards the coast. High tide can exacerbate the impact of the storm surge, leading to more severe flooding.
