Hurricanes are helpful in areas that experience seasonal droughts, as otherwise the annual precipitation would be too low. They can also clear away stagnant air, and improve oxygenation of sea water.

A hurricane is a valuable natural phenomenon because it transfers excess heat energy from the tropics to the higher latitudes. Atlantic storms can be seen as analogous to the Gulf Stream in that they carry warm, moist air to northern Europe.

It also tellls us about the earth in many ways, such as: There is lava under the the land layer, there are many tectonic plates, and so on. Volcanoes tell us a lot about the chemical composition of rock. They tell us what incredible force there is under the earth's crust. They can be used to indicate were the earth has been hit by large astroids in the past. The shockwave from an astroide can go through the "core" to the opposite side of the earth and there cause an eruption. Volcanoes tell us more about the past than our future.
