Hurricanes form over the ocean and of if they impact land they impact the coast. When a hurricane hits a low level coast it will usually do more damage and therefore get more publicity.

What is a dome of water that sweeps over the land after a hurricane called?

A dome of water that sweeps over the land after a hurricane is called a storm surge. It is caused by the strong winds and low pressure of a hurricane pushing water towards the coast, leading to a temporary rise in sea level. Storm surges can result in significant flooding and damage to coastal areas.

What was the hurricane's name that hit the oregon coast in the 1960's?

Its commonly referred to the Columbus Day Storm and struck land on Oct. 12, 1962. It was originally called Typhoon Freda, although the low pressure system began to dissipated once it struck Astoria, OR. The extreme low pressure system would be equivalent to a Category 3 hurricane. More accurately, however, the storm is not a hurricane, but rather an extratropical cyclone.

What part of a storm has the lowest surface air pressure?

The center or the "eye". Think of the Hurricane as a vortex that is sucking things up like a tornado. The winds are so powerful that you don't really see it sucking. But that is why the sea rises as it approaches the coast. The low pressure is causing the water level to rise higher.

What factors contribute to the low-level rotation of a northern hemisphere hurricane?

The low-level rotation of a northern hemisphere hurricane is influenced by factors such as the Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect), warm ocean temperatures, and the structure of the storm itself. These factors work together to create the spinning motion characteristic of hurricanes in the northern hemisphere.
