What are all the hurricane damages?

Answer 1

the most commonly known damage is by wind. The wind can damage buildings, and blow trees onto power lines.

After wind comes rain/flooding. Hurricanes loose their strength over land, and can dump a lot of rain on a local area in a very short period of time. Flash flooding can occur.

Next, there is storm surge. This is where the winds push ocean water against the shore as the hurricane approaches. The sea level appears to rise, and larger than normal waves on top of that can sweep miles inland. This would be on top of rain that has fallen in the same area.

Answer 2

Hurricanes can destroy trees house and everything like that!!!:p

• A category 1 hurricane (Wind Speed: 74 - 95 MPH.)Beginning damage to unanchored trailer homes, shrubbery, and trees. Some coastal road flooding. Little damage to building structures.

• A Category 2 hurricane (Wind Speed: 96 - 110 MPH ):Noticeable damage to trailer homes, piers, and vegetation. Coastal and low-lying escape routes flood 2 - 4 hours before arrival of hurricane. Buildings sustain roofing material, door, and window damage.

• A Category 3 hurricane: (Wind Speed: 111 - 130 MPH):Trailer homes most definitely destroyed. Some structural damage to small homes and utility buildings. Flooding near coast destroys smaller structures; larger structures damaged by floating debris. May be flooded up to 6 miles inland.

• A Category 4 hurricane( Wind Speed: 131 - 155 MPH):Major erosion of beaches. Major damage to lower floors of structures near the shore. Terrain continuously lower than 10 feet. May flood up to 6 miles inland and require evacuations.

A Category 5 hurricane (Wind Speed: Over 155 MPH):Complete roof failure on many homes and industrial buildings. Some complete

building failures. Major damage to lower floors of all structures located less

than 15 feet and within 500 yards of the shoreline. Massive evacuation of

low ground residential areas may be required.

This gives a pretty good description what a hurricane can destroy

Answer 3

Hurricanes can damage most anything on the land when they make landfall. These can include:

• roads
• beaches
• bridges
• buildings
• power distribution systems
• vehicles

They can also damage vessels in harbor or at sea when they pass over.

The damage comes from the energetic wave action, and from the strong winds and rain associated with hurricanes.
