The tallest storm surge ever recorded was during the 1899 Cyclone in Australia, which produced a surge of about 43 feet (13 meters).
"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.
No, high winds and storm surge are two different weather phenomena. High winds refer to the movement of air at high speeds, while storm surge is an abnormal rise in sea level during a storm that can cause flooding in coastal areas. Storm surge is typically caused by the strong winds and low pressure of a storm pushing water towards the shore.
When the storm surge of a hurricane comes in at high tide the affect is worse, as the height of the high tide is added to the storm surge to produce a storm tide. The high tide is highest during the full and new moon phases.
Low pressure also contributes to the storm surge.
Storm tide occurs when the storm surge of a hurricane comes in on top of high tide. The heights of the storm surge and high tide are added together, resulting in worse flooding than if they same storm had struck at low tide.

No. A storm surge is a bulge on the surface of a body of water created by strong winds.

Storm surge.
Well, it depends on how large the storm surge. I have seen water rise 10 feet from a river during a storm surge. It also depends on lake or river, because of if it is moving water or still water.
"Storm surge" is a noun.
If you mean storm surge, it is a bulge created on a body of water by the low pressure of a storm. If it is high enough i can flood land.
surge Storm surge waves.
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.
