Storm Surge: -

Before After

Highest storm surge: 25 feet Hurricane Camille, 1969 hit Pass Christian Mississippi

The southern shore of Long Island is most vulnerable to storm surge because hurricane landfall will first occur there and the low elevation will allow sea water to move well inland.

- - Saffir-Simpson Scale

Category 1 -- Winds mph Category 2 -- Winds mph Category 3 -- Winds mph Category 4 -- Winds mph Category 5 -- Winds over 155 mph (these are VERY rare)
