The most common (not the only) hurricane damage to a house is heavy damage to, or complete removal of, the roof.
The buildings collapse.
Hurricanes can cause significant damage to buildings, including roof damage, broken windows, structural issues, and flooding. High winds can tear off roof shingles, while heavy rainfall can lead to water entering buildings and causing interior damage. Storm surges associated with hurricanes can also lead to severe flooding and structural damage in coastal areas.
Completely destroyed.
Hurricanes can inflict severe damage on the built environment through strong winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges. High winds can tear off roofs, shatter windows, and uproot trees, while flooding can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and electrical hazards. Additionally, storm surges can inundate coastal areas, eroding foundations and causing widespread devastation to homes and infrastructure. Overall, the combination of these factors can compromise the safety and functionality of buildings and other structures.
In terms of intensity Irene was a category 3 hurricane. Irene could also be called a Cape Verde type hurricane.
Hurricane Katrina was a large Category 5 hurricane that made landfall in the Gulf Coast of the United States in 2005. It caused extensive damage, resulting in over 1,800 fatalities and billions of dollars in damage to infrastructure, homes, and the environment. The storm surge and flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana, were particularly devastating.
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.
When a hurricane approaches land, tremendous damage can occur in the built environment. The amount of damage depends both on the intensity of the storm and what it hits. A combination of winds, storm surges, and rain cause great damage to buildings, power lines, roads, and automobiles.
Nearly all structure impacted by category 5 winds will suffer major damage. Houses and businesses will lose roofs and may have walls collapsed. Even well-built structures will be damage beyond repair while others may be completely destroyed. These descriptions only apply to wind damage. The storm surge can be even worse, in some cases completely destroying blocks of buildings near coastlines.
The time it takes to clean up after a hurricane can vary significantly depending on the severity of the storm and the extent of the damage. It can take weeks to months for communities to recover and rebuild after a major hurricane. Initial cleanup efforts prioritize safety and clearing debris to restore access to essential services.
There are some parts of the world that are prone to earthquakes. Houses in this areas are built with Timber,bamboo and woods to minimize the damage to life and property. Rebuilding of these kind of houses is not very difficult and time taking. Moreover these houses is not expensive in comparison to other houses.
The Waco tornado was an F5, meaning that houses were completely destroyed with some of the swept clean off their foundations.
