It’s the elevation that counts more than the distance. I’ve lived through three major hurricanes and the storm surge is always what hurt the most - and I lived several miles inland. There was a forth hurricane that dumped a ton of rain in my area but because the eye was several hundred miles away, the sea level actually went DOWN because the hurricane’s center was sucking up all the water. These aren’t phenomena that you can easily eyeball.
