Storm surge is rise in sea level along a shore caused primarily by strong onshore winds and, to a lesser extent, low air pressure. Associated with a storm and augmented by the hurricane's forward motion. The stomr surge is the most significant in the right-front quadrant of the hurricane. Summertime no jet stream Storms die from bottom to top because water droplets evaporate quickly and ice crystals stay behind. When cloud tower penetrates freezing level, you get ice crystals.
Crystals can bounce up and down creating layers of ice in the ice crystal.
Rain is mostly melted hail. When a cumulus cloud grows, various parts get electrically charged . Lightning When hail forms, the ice crystal portion gets very negatively charged. Rain begins when lightning begins. When hail stones hit each other, they knock off electrons.
