Read the passage about a hurricane’s storm surge.

When a hurricane forms over water, its spinning winds lift the water higher at the storm’s center. Then as the hurricane moves toward land, the winds push this water onto the shore. The rush of water carried onto land from a hurricane is called a storm surge. It often causes coastal flooding.
