Tropical cyclones surges events (1975-2007)

This layer provides a compilation of estimated storm surges triggered by tropical cyclones of Saffir-Simpson category (Don't forget to zoom on the coasts!). The Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale classifies hurricanes into five categories distinguished by the intensities of their sustained winds. To be classified as a hurricane, a tropical cyclone must have maximum sustained winds of at least 74 mph (Category 1), to winds exceeding 156 mph (Category 5).
