How do mountains affects the formation of typhoons?
Typhoons cannot form over land and therefore cannot form over mountains; they can only form over warm ocean water. A typhoon that moves over a mountainous area will lose strength very quickly as the high terrain will force it to drop most of its moisture as rain.

Vegetation helps absorb water's kinetic energy and some of the water itself. So floods will not carry the same force, and storm surges from typhoons will not travel as far inland.
