Example:
Imagine trying to carry a stack of papers across a windy parking lot. Just as the wind can lift and scatter your neatly piled papers, a hurricane's powerful winds and waves can push vast amounts of ocean water ashore, leading to a storm surge. In this analogy, the papers represent the water in the ocean, and the wind in the parking lot acts like the hurricane, forcing the water to rise and flood areas that are normally dry.
