coastal storm

Seaside weather fury

A coastal storm is a weather system that forms over or near the ocean and affects shoreline areas, typically bringing high winds, heavy rain, and dangerous surf.

These storms include hurricanes, nor'easters, and tropical storms.

The coastal storm caused flooding along the barrier islands.

The combination of storm surge and high tides makes coastal storms particularly destructive to low-lying areas.
