The destructive force of the storm was overwhelming.
Polar regions experience a type of storm called a polar storm or polar low. These storms are similar to mid-latitude cyclones but are smaller in size and typically occur over the ocean. Polar storms can produce strong winds and heavy precipitation, posing a threat to maritime activities and coastal areas in polar regions.
Barrier islands help protect the coast by absorbing wave energy during storms, reducing erosion of the mainland land and providing a buffer zone for coastal habitats. They act as a natural defense against storm surge and flooding, helping to maintain the stability and resilience of coastal ecosystems.
Rising sea levels and storm force winds would be good examples of processes which would cause increased abrasion along a coastal region.

If barrier islands disappeared, coastal areas behind them would be more prone to erosion, flooding, and storm damage. Barrier islands act as a buffer, protecting the mainland from the full force of storms and waves. Without these islands, coastal communities would be more vulnerable to the impacts of sea-level rise and severe weather events.
There are no advantages. It is a destructive storm.

Hurricane Gustav affected Haiti, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and the United States in 2008. The destructive storm did over 6 million dollars of damages.
