Thanks to John B. who found this video: This video is from Hurricane Ian in south Florida. This is a storm surge, where the 150 mph wind blows the top layers of water from the Gulf of Mexico, and pushes it up on the land. Keep in mind that the coastline is just a couple feet above sea level, and the surge was anywhere from 8-16 feet high depending on where you look. Disastrous flooding results, and as seen in this, small buildings and homes are removed by the water.
