hurricanes
Both hurricane and tornadoes can cause very severe wind damage. In tornadoes that damage tends to be more severe, but also occurs in a much smaller area. Hurricanes usually cause their worst damage through flooding either caused by their heavy rains or through the storm surge, which essentially pushes seawater onto land. In the worst cases this flooding can wash away roads and coastal communities.
Hurricane typically affects the coastal area.

RAF Coastal Area was created in 1919.
The worst storm happened in 1900 in Galveston, Texas when a hurricane hit the area. Over 6,000 people lost their lives and the storm caused billions of dollars worth of damage.
Coastal area damage is often worse during hurricanes or tropical storms due to the combination of high winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges. These factors can lead to flooding, erosion, and significant structural damage to buildings and infrastructure. Additionally, the rising sea levels exacerbated by climate change increase vulnerability to such extreme weather events, making coastal regions more susceptible to devastating impacts. Effective preparedness and response strategies are crucial in mitigating these damages.
Not quite. A hurricane forms over the ocean, but usually only cause significant damage if they hit land. When they strike, the worst damage is usually limited to coastal areas, but severe flooding and occasional tornado outbreaks can occur further inland.
Stratovolcanoes usually do the worst damage.
The area of Exmoor Coastal Heaths is 17.583 square kilometers.

Torpedoes did the damage; under-water damage, the worst kind of damage for anything floating on water.
