Understanding Hurricane Surge Prediction And Tides
Meteorologists combine data with models to approximate large scale storm features while small scale variations remain uncertain. Tides cause varying water levels coastally and can amplify a storm surge when aligned with high tide, complicating evacuation timing. For hurricane resistant home construction guidance, contact the Sea Grant Extension Program at University of Florida, MAP-16.
