It would depend what category hurricane it is, for the most part, but hurricanes with a category 1 or higher are strong enough to do property damage or create injuries or deaths. In most cases, the flooding caused by torrential rains and storm surges are the most dangerous part of the storm.

Nearly 2,000 people lost their lives in Hurricane Katrina (one of the top 10 deadliest hurricanes on record), and it was only a Category 3 when it hit the shore.

Hurricanes destroy homes, wash out roads and farmland, flood businesses, and in developed nations disrupt the power transmission systems. They can drown people, leave them homeless, and leave large populations without electricity and access to food supplies.
