Although tropical cyclones can take an enormous toll on lives and personal property, they can also be important factors in the precipitation regimes of the places they affect and bring much-needed rain to otherwise-dry regions. Hurricanes in the eastern north Pacific sometimes supply moisture to the Southwestern United States and parts of western Mexico. Additionally, Japan receives over half of its rainfall from typhoons.
While tropical cyclones may well seriously damage settlement, total destruction encourages rebuilding. For example, the destruction wrought by Hurricane Camille on the Gulf coast spurred redevelopment, greatly increasing local property values.
From a nonhuman perspective, tropical cyclones are very important to the global climate system. Their primary purpose is to transport heat and moisture away from the equator, where there is a great imbalance due to the heating of the earth. Even after they have made landfall and weakened, often in the mid-latitudes, they continue to move poleward while transporting tremendous amounts of tropical moisture and latent heat. On a more local scale, tropical cyclones reshape the geology near the coast by eroding sand from the beach as well as offshore, rearranging coral, and changing dune configuration onshore. These changes are necessary for these dynamic systems to adapt and rejuvenate themselves.
Perspective from a hurricane survivor:As a Survivor of Andrew, Frances, Jeanne and Wilma directly, and having lost homes and vehicles (and all personal belongings in those) to these storms, I can say these few GOOD things about hurricanes:Perhaps the only positive effect of hurricanes is that they are heat dumps. They develop when the energy of condensation piles up on top of already warm tropical waters. Were this mechanical process not to exist, global warming and climate change would unarguably become an issue that no one could ever debate. But then, if hurricanes did not form, there likely would not be anyone around to argue about it. The planet would become too hot for it to harbor life.
So, in short, the positive effect of hurricanes is that by their existence, Earth has life.
Incidentally, all of the negative affects result from where people build their homes and businesses, so it begs the question: If you back a dog into a corner, and he bites you, whose fault is it? Never blame an element of nature for the foolishness of the human animal.

Yes. Hurricanes can bring much needed rain to an area and can help clear some pollution from the air.

Mr Erebus is a volcano, the southern-most active volcano on earth. As a volcano, then, there are no 'effects' -- positive or negative, connected with this landscape.
Hurricanes can bring much needed rainfall to drought-stricken regions and clear the air of pollutants.

Hurricanes bring rain, which plants need to survive. This is especially beneficial when a hurricane hits a drought-stricken region.

Negative effects of hurricanes include habitat loss for animals, displaced families, injury and death. Many marine species are adapted to handle the effects of hurricanes.
