The term &quot;storm surge&quot; or &quot;daluyong&quot; refers to rising seas whipped up by a storm, creating a wall of water several meters higher than the normal tide level.The large swells move faster than the cyclone and are sometimes spotted up to 1,000 kilometers ahead of a major storm. The surge can extend for dozens of kilometers inland, overwhelming homes and making roads impassable.&quot;Storm surge becomes more dangerous when it arrives on top of a high tide. When this happens, it may flood areas that otherwise might have been dry or safe. On top of the storm surge, big and strong waves generated by powerful winds also comes with it,&quot; PAGASA said in its website. A storm surge that is 1 to 2 meters high could cause moderate to significant damage to communities, disrupt all marine-related activities, and cause flooding in low lying areas, it added.Different factors shape a storm surge, including storm intensity, forward speed, the size of a storm and the angle of approach to the coast. The underlying features of the land at the coast, including bays and estuaries, are also at play.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/overseas/05/20/20/tropical-cyclones-and-storm-surges-why-they-are-deadly">Tropical cyclones and storm surges: Why they are deadly</a></li></ul><div>OTHER THREATS </div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=2313904" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>Paeng was 155 kilometers east northeast of Borongan City, Eastern Samar at 1 p.m., packing maximum sustained winds of 75 kilometers per hour near the center and up to 90 kph gusts, PAGASA said.
