Peru has no hurricanes. The waters off Peru are cold all year round this is due to the Peru current thus making the Pacific coast of not only Peru but of all south America virtually immune to hurricanes. In fact most of Peru's coast is desert due to the rainshadow effect caused by the Andes.Peru's capital Lima, gets little to no rainfall all year round, it only drizzles.
No, hurricanes are not rare in Florida. Florida is prone to hurricanes due to its geographical location and warm tropical waters. The state has a long history of experiencing hurricanes, with some areas being more vulnerable than others.
There were no hurricanes in Florida in 2010. And even then, the track of a hurricane cannot be predicted more than a few days in advance.
Earthquakes have caused more deaths than hurricanes, and hurricanes have caused more deaths than lightning.
The US gulf coast and southern Atlantic coast border warm water from the tropics. This warm water provides the energy that power hurricanes. This energy comes from water vapor that evaporates from the warm water. Storm clusters that often roll off the coast of Africa serve as "seeds" that grow into hurricanes when they encounter this energy source. Hurricanes are cut off from this source of moisture once they hit land and rapidly lose strength. So hurricanes lose hurricane status before they can get very far inland. The waters of the Pacific and northern Atlantic coasts are too cold to support hurricanes.
Hurricanes are the most common natural disaster that affects only Florida due to its location in the Atlantic hurricane basin. Tornadoes are another natural disaster that can impact Florida as well, although they are less common than hurricanes. Flooding from heavy rainfall or storm surges can also occur in Florida, particularly during the wet season.

The capital of Peru is Lima.
In short, tornadoes are more violent than hurricanes and usually produce more severe damage, albeit over a much smaller area.

yes because its right bye the carribean sea and most of the hurricanes form there ==== Hurricanes are not "popular" anywhere. That said, the Gulf Coast of Florida tends to get more hurricane strikes than the Orlando side. However, hurricanes do strike all parts of Florida.
No, lightning typically kills fewer people than hurricanes or tornadoes. On average, lightning causes around 30-60 deaths per year in the United States, while hurricanes and tornadoes can cause hundreds of deaths in a single event.
Florida generally experiences more tornadoes than Arizona. This is due to the geographical location and climate of Florida, which is prone to severe weather conditions that are conducive to tornado formation, such as strong thunderstorms and hurricanes. Arizona, on the other hand, has a drier climate and is less prone to tornadoes.
This cannot be answered simply, as both hurricanes and tornadoes vary greatly in how bad they are. The impacts of both tornadoes and hurricanes can range from negligible to devastating. That said, the very worst hurricanes can be far deadlier and more destructive than the worst tornadoes.
Hurricanes, by far. Consider that a number of hurricanes have killed thoussands of people, while only one tornado has ever killed more than 1,000.
