There are two ways. In coastal areas the winds of a hurricane can drive the ocean onto land in what is called the storm surge. The flooding from the storm surge often enters buildings.
Hurricanes also produce torrential rain that often causes flooding.
If you refer to the Great Flood of 1976, i seem to recall it was not a hurricane at all. 1st week of October I believe.
Well floods do not exactly have names just places. But hurricanes do like hurricane Katrina for instance!
While it is unlikely for a flood and a hurricane to occur simultaneously in the exact same location, they can both impact the same area. Hurricanes can bring heavy rainfall that leads to flooding, especially in low-lying coastal regions. The flood risk is often highest after the hurricane has made landfall and as rain continues to fall.
Hurricane Fabian hit the island of Bermuda in September 2003, causing significant damage and destruction to buildings and infrastructure on the island.
Damage to an ecosystem caused by a hurricane or a flood can include loss of habitat, destruction of vegetation, disruption of food chains, and changes in water quality. These events can lead to long-term impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem health, affecting the balance and resilience of the ecosystem. Restoration efforts may be needed to help the ecosystem recover.
yes, it does
Yes. Flooding is the biggest danger in a hurricane.
