Yes, this is possible. The big huricanes cause what is called a tidal surge or storm surge where high winds push water before them and up across low lying land. Because the winds are sustained, the water just pushes inland as far as it can. Levels in rivers rise, and water is forced up and over any plot of land that has only a few feet of elevation above sea level. We've had lots of demonstrations of this in America over the recent years. A link can be found below. It will take the curious reader to the Wikipedia post where more information can be had.
