Hurricane Ian sucked water away from Florida's coast as it moved north
(www.npr.org)https://www.npr.org/2022/09/28/1125603819/hurricane-ian-sucked-water-away-floridaPowerful storm's winds pulled massive amounts of water away from beaches and shorelines, exposing the seabed that's normally covered by feet of ocean water. When it does arrive back, the high water is accompanied by large and destructive waves.
Hurricane winds are swirling counter-clockwise as it moves northward along the Florida peninsula, so its winds are whipping the water away from the shoreline ahead of the center. As the storm passes through, winds in its eastern and lower half will shove water back toward land at a prodigious rate.
When storm slows down as it nears the shore, increasing rain levels will arrive on the coast and far inland.
