0kph-20kph
40kph-70kph
PSWS #2
The second cyclone. Which shield shall I use?
60kph-70kph 60kph-100kph
60kph-90kph
60kph-120kph
1# 3 PSWS
Its stronger this time.Which shield shall I use? 100kph-120kph 100kph-150kph
100kph-185kph

The final wave. Which shield shall I use?
185kph-200kph >185kph
=185kph
>185kph

A storm surge is an offshore rise of water associated with a low pressure weather system, typically tropical cyclones. Storm surges are caused primarily by high winds pushing on the oceans surface. The wind causes the water to pile up higher than the ordinary sea level.
