Rising water due to the storm surge.

I witnessed the aftermath of Hurricane Camille in 1969. That Category 5 storm produced a storm surge of 24 feet, leaving no single-story frame bulidings still standing along the coast where it came ashore. Any 2-story homes still standing were missing the entire first floor.
