The main danger is from flooding. 90% of deaths in tropical cyclones are drownings.
A tropical cyclone produces torrential rain that can result in flash flooding. The heavy rain can also cause deadly landslides as it weakens the soil on slopes. Strong tropical cyclones such as hurricanes and typhoons drive seawater onto land in what is called the storm surge, resulting in severe coastal flooding that can sometimes wash away entire communities. Then there is the wind, which can topple trees, tear roofs off buildings, and destroy weaker structures, creating flying debris. Finally, the outer bands of a tropical cyclone can produce severe thunderstorms, and even tornadoes.
