the damage can range from minuscule to catastrophic. While wind speeds can cause massive damage by ripping roofs from buildings and even at times spawning tornadoes, the biggest damage dealer would be flooding (as was made very obvious with Hurricane Katrina). Water damage can envelope entire buildings, causing massive damage and when dried out, can spawn large clusters of mold, making most places uninhabitable.
