What is used to measure storm surge?
Tidal gauges usually measure the storm surge.
What is a tornado warned storm?
A tornado warned storm is a thunderstorm for which a tornado warning has been issued, meaning that the storm is producing rotation that can spawn a tornado.
Is a tornado a type of storm?
A tornado comes from a type of storm called a rotating thunderstorm, but is not a storm, itself.
How does a marsh absorb tornado or hurricane power?
A marsh does not do anything to affect a tornado's destructive potential, but it can reduce the effects of a hurricane. One of the most destructive parts of the impact of a hurricane is the storm surge, where the winds drive seawater onto land. Marshes reduce the storm surge.
What contributes the storm surge?
"Storm surge" is the above-normal water level caused by tropical storms, especially by the high winds. The storm surge can be higher or lower than otherwise might be the case depending on the tides; a storm surge at high tides can be far more destructive than the storm at low tides.
What part of speech is storm surge?
"Storm surge" is a noun.
Does a storm surge bring cooler and drier air?
No. A storm surge is a bulge on the surface of a body of water created by a strong storm such as a hurricane. The storm surge can bring coastal flooding.

How do storm surges relate to cyclones?
Cyclones, particularly hurricanes and typhoons, create a bulge on the surface of water with their winds. This storm surge can cause heavy coastal flooding if the storm makes landfall.

Where is a storm surge located in relation to a storm?
A storm surge occurs over water. It is a rising of the sea as a result of atmospheric pressure changes and wind associated with a storm.
Can a storm mix with a tornado?
A tornado does not "mix" with other storms. A tornado is part of a larger parent storm, though.
A local rise in sea level near the shore that caused by strong winds from storms such as those from a hurricane?
This phenomenon is likely due to the storm surge associated with hurricanes. Strong winds from the storm push water towards the shore, causing a temporary rise in sea level. This can result in coastal flooding and damage to properties near the shore.
Can a storm turn in to a tornado?
A storm can't turn into a tornado, it a thunderstorm can produce one.
