As a general rule of thumb, the inner eye wall of the hurricane's right side (relative to the direction it is travelling) is the most dangerous part of the storm because of the additive effect of the hurricane wind speed and speed of the larger atmospheric flow (the steering winds). The increased winds on the right side increase the storm surge.
Storm surge is the greatest potential threat to life and property associated with hurricanes. A storm surge is a large dome of water -- 50 to 100 miles wide -- that sweeps across the coastline near where a hurricane makes landfall. It can be more than 15 feet deep at its peak.
The level of surge in a particular area is primarily related to the intensity of the hurricane and slope of the continental shelf.
