Hurricanes can cause damage in a number of ways. The wind itself is strong enough to damage or destroy structures and topple trees. Hurricane waves can damage boats and harbors.

At the same time, torrential rain from a hurricane can causes severe inland flooding. Soil loosened by heavy rain can cause landslides. The outer storm bands of a hurricane can contain severe thunderstorms capable of producing strong wind gusts, hail, lightning, and tornadoes.
