How are hurricanes and floods the same?
They aren't. A hurricane is an intense tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph. Hurricane are not the same as floods, but they cause floods though two mechanisms. First, their winds drive seawater onto land in what is called a storm surge, which can cause major coatal flooding. Second, they produce torrential rain, which can cause inland flooding.

Why is flooding a danger associated with hurricanes?
There are two causes of flooding in a hurricane. First, in coastal areas, there is something called the storm surge, when the hurricane's winds force the ocean water onto land. Second, hurricanes produce torrential rains that can cause flash floods. Both of these have the potential to cause drownings and even wash buildings away. 90% of people who die in hurricanes drown.
