They aren't. A hurricane is an intense tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph. Hurricane are not the same as floods, but they cause floods though two mechanisms. First, their winds drive seawater onto land in what is called a storm surge, which can cause major coatal flooding. Second, they produce torrential rain, which can cause inland flooding.
