What are the 4 dangers associated with hurricanes?

Answer 1

The main dangers are rain, wind, storm surge and tornadoes. Rain causes mass flooding and land erosion, it can rain up to 12 inches a day. A storm surge kills 90% of the people killed in a hurricane, it can cause even more land erosion. The rain and wind destroys trees, buildings and cars money.

Answer 2

The primary hazard associated with hurricanes it the tidal surge, elevated sea level caused by the hurricane wind pushing water toward the land causing it to "pile up" and rise onto populated low lying areas near the coast. This high water often causes people who do not leave before the storm to drown. Also, waves ride on this elevated water crashing repeatedly into structures tearing them apart.

Less common, but also hazardous are tornadoes that are generated/caused by the hurricane winds. Finally, and least hazardous, the hurricane winds themselves can blow trees over onto houses, buildings, cars, electrical power lines, etc., and blow roofs off of buildings.

Answer 3

Hurricane force means winds of 74 mph or higher. Even minimal hurricane force winds can bring down trees and power lines and overturn small, anchored structures. On water, such winds can produce large waves, which are a hazard to boaters.

Answer 4

Unnoticed flying debris in the high winds.plus getting washed away from all the rain.you could drown,suffer from hypothermia.

Answer 6
