What does more damage a fast hurricane or a slow one?
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.
