Storm surges as high as 20 feet ( six meters ) could hit the low-lying coast of Florida and Georgia .
Storm surges are caused by hurricanes, known as the most violent storms on Earth .
Hurricanes consist of extremely strong horizontal winds that swirl around a central point.
Hurricanes cause storm surges by whipping up ocean waters and slamming this huge 'wall of water' up to 20 feet high.
Scientists consider storm surges more dangerous and deadly than winds, simply because they're more powerful and can do more damage.
