Depends on what you mean by a fast or slow hurricane.

In terms of forward speed, a slow-moving hurricane is generally more damaging, as areas in the path of the storm are hit by torrential rains for extended periods of time, resulting in very severe flooding.

In terms of wind speed, hurricanes with faster winds are more destructive, though no hurricane has slow winds.

the longer a hurricane stays the more damage it does primarily due to the fact that more rain falls on a single area than in a faster moving hurricane. Potentially resulting in major flooding.


What type of damage can a hurricane cause?

How can a category 2 hurricane cause more damage than a category 5 hurricane?

Although stronger hurricanes are usually more damaging, this is not always the case. A slow moving weak hurricane or even a tropical storm can drop an enormous amount of rain almost on one area. This can lead to very heavy flooding and cause massive amounts of damage. Additionally, most category 5 hurricanes do not make landfall at category 5 strength.

How does the amount of wind affect hurricane formation-?

Wind shear is one of the most critical factors in controlling or even destroying hurricane formation, the more wind, the more powerful the hurricane. Conversely, if the wind is blowing in the opposite direction of the hurricane, it can slow it down or destroy it.
