Low pressure also contributes to the storm surge.
Yes, a storm surge can result from a hurricane. Storm surge is the abnormal rise in seawater level during a storm, particularly hurricanes, due to strong winds and low atmospheric pressure pushing water ashore. It can cause significant coastal flooding and is a major hazard associated with hurricanes.

No. While the storm surge is worst at the center of a hurricane, it extends beyond that center.
No. The storm surge is a bulge of seawater that is driven onto land by hurricane winds.

The storm surge.
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.

The strongest part of the hurricane is the storm surge.
when it reaches the coastline
Hurricane Sandy is expected to cause 6 to 11 feet storm surge.
Originally, a storm surge of 9-12 feet was listed for a category 3 hurricane. This association is no longer used as storm surge is influenced by more than just the sustained wind speed used to determine a hurricane's category.
No. While the storm surge is worst at the center of a hurricane, it extends beyond that center.
