Image of Iselle Storm Surge( Wave Splash )

[TomK]

MarkP - I don't think the picture is fake, the noise levels look pretty consistent across the image. However, it should be pointed out that's not storm surge, but instead a large wave from the storm. Storm surge is the general rising of the water level caused by the low air pressure in a cyclone, so it's a bit like a rapidly rising tide. The waves caused by the winds, which is shown in this picture, are not storm surge. The storm surge, will, however, mean that the wind-driven waves will impact the shoreline more dramatically just because the general water level is higher and might water might ingress further onshore than normal.
