All true.  I read that the lower sea levels in the Bahamas wasn't due to winds, it was primarly due to the low pressure of Hurricane Irma. You can very little wind in the videos of people showing the lower sea level.  

Even though it rarely occurs, imagine how much storm surge you would get in macrotidal zones at high tide with a corresponding hurricane.  The southeastern U.S. is lucky it is microtidal or it would be amazing to see and worse to experience.
