"Storm surge, not wind or rain, is the number one killer in hurricanes, and climate change is making it worse.
Sea level has already risen as a result of climate change, and that rate is accelerating around the world. Current conservative projections for sea level rise by the end of this century (by 2100) are for an additional 12-24 inches, according to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Storm surge is the rise in ocean levels brought about by the wind and low pressure in a hurricane. When the winds blow onshore, it pushes the water higher, forcing it farther inland than normal tidal levels.
Given a relatively flat coastal plain, raising water levels by only inches can make a dramatic difference on how far inland the water can travel."
