∙ 9y agoA major cause of damage, destruction, and death associated with hurricanes is flooding. The very high amounts of rain during the hurricane can flood entire cities. The wind is also a cause, but flooding brings about more deaths.

Why are hurricanes considered more damaging than tornadoes when tornadoes have stronger winds?
They aren't. Tornadoes are more violent than hurricanes. The winds of both hurricanes and tornadoes are driven by the pressure at the center of the storm being lower than that of the surroundings. Tornadoes produce a similar pressure drop to hurricanes, but over a much sorter distance. This means the pressure gradient is steeper, and the air is subjected to a greater force.

How does a hurricane damage property?
Hurricanes can cause severe flooding though both rain and through storm surge, which essentially pushes the ocean onto land. These can damage or destroy property. Additional damage is caused by the powerful winds of hurricanes, which can damage roofs and siding and destroy some weaker structures. Hurricanes can also produce severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.
Why is it that typically winds speeds in tornadoes are faster than wind speeds in hurricanes but hurricanes inflict more overall damage?
There are two reasons. First, while damage from a hurricane is usually less severe than that of a tornado, a hurricane covers a much larger area, so damage is more widespread. Second, much of the damage from hurricanes is not caused by wind, but by flooding.
