Hurricane Donna was known to be one of the strongest hurricanes that hit the Atlantic in 1960 that led to causing a lot of damage to Antilles, Greater Antilles and the Eastern Coast of the US. The storm surge led to severe destruction and damage to the property, soil erosion and loss of lives. According to the graph, the height storm surge was observed in FLM region that led to a height of nearly 4 m which was followed by EGC region which is around 3.5m. The LRS and BSC region witnessed estimated storm surge height of 3m. In case of NHB and SH3 it saw a surge height of around 2m and the only place that did not have Donna hurricane is L03.
