Where does the storm surge in a hurricane comes from?

Hurricanes have very strong winds -- out over the water this wind pushes water and piles it up. This piled up water can become very high, certainly higher than normal tides. When this water rolls over the shore it's called a storm surge. Since hurricanes are large areas of wind rotating counter clockwise, the area above the center pushes water onto land and the area below center pushes water away from land. This is one reason the north side of the storm is called the bad or dirty side.
