The rain from a hurricane can cause sever flooding.
No. Rain in a hurricane is fresh water just like it is in other storms.
All hurricanes produce large amounts of rain. It is a result of the huge amount of moisture a hurricane carries.
Effects of a typhoon:Storm surge and tidal flooding--This is the most devastating and notable effect from a hurricane. Storm surge is the rising wall of water the comes ashore with a land falling hurricane, and is responsible for 90 percent of all hurricane related deaths.High Winds--This is the most important effect of a hurricane since it determines how powerful the storm is, and how much storm surge and damage it can cause. Winds in a hurricane can reach up to 200 mph.Tornadoes--This is probably the least thought of effect of a hurricane, but they do occur. Tornadoes occur in a hurricane as a result of the tremendous energy and instability created when a hurricane makes landfall. Most tornadoes that occur in hurricanes are only minimal in strength.Heavy rain and flooding--This is the effect of a hurricane that is completely taken for granted. After hurricanes make landfall, and their winds abate, the tremendous amounts of rainfall become a major factor, and can cause significant flooding as with Hurricane Floyd last year.
None. All deaths from Hurricane Katrina were in the U.S.
Cyclones occur more. This is because all hurricanes are cyclones, but not all cyclones are hurricanes.

Hurricane Katrina caused many thunderstorms, as do all hurricanes.

All countries cause acid rain. The more fossil fuels they use and the more industries they have, the more acid rain they create.

A hurricane causes coastal flooding. None of the other are directly related to flooding at all.
NO
Coverage on a homeowners policy is all determined upon the cause of the loss. If the cause was a flood then there is no coverage. If the cause was a windstorm like a hurricane then it is covered.
It can cause massive inland flooding from all the rain it produces. Also the storm surge on the coast can wash away many homes and go quite a ways inland. Landslides from the rain are also the problem. Diseases from the flooding are another problem. Washed away crops. etc....
Winston-Salem can be affected by the rain when a hurricane moves inland, but it's not directly affected by them. Winston-Salem is well west of Raleigh, not near the coast at all.
