What causes damages through hurricanes?

Answer 1

Hurricanes can cause damage in a number of ways. The wind itself is strong enough to damage or destroy structures and topple trees. Hurricane waves can damage boats and harbors. This is enhanced by the storm surge, in which water is driven onto land by the wind, causing severe coastal flooding. At the same time, torrential rain from a hurricane can causes severe inland flooding. Soil loosened by heavy rain can cause landslides. The outer storm bands of a hurricane can contain severe thunderstorms capable of producing strong wind gusts, hail, lightning, and tornadoes.

Answer 2

Hurricanes cause such huge amounts of damage for several reasons. First, they have several ways of inflicting damage. Hurricanes produce very strong winds. Even the winds of a minimal hurricane can bring down trees and power lines, damage houses, and destroy some weak structures. Second, the winds of a hurricane drive seawater and waves onto land, causing coastal flooding. Third, hurricanes produce huge amounts of rain that can cause severe flooding away from the shoreline. Fourth, hurricanes can produce severe thunderstorms and even tornadoes. Hurricanes are also large storms, often spanning a few hundred miles across, so even if damage is not very severe at any particular place, the minor to moderate damage is so widespread that it adds up to quite a bit of damage overall.

Answer 3

High winds and Storm Surges (Idk if the others apply [Apex!])

Answer 4

A way hurricanes can cost money is that they destroy things such as buildings, houses, cars, (ect.)

Answer 5

With hurricanes being as powerful as they are, it is not surprising that upon landfall they cause damage and destruction.

Answer 6

Massive rain, Storm surges, high winds (apex)
