High winds can cause the most direct damage, especially on non-reinforced structures. However, floods from heavy rains or tidal surge have the greatest potential for fatalities and general damage.
A hurricane causes the most damage overall.
Hurricanes cause the most damage when they make landfall, as they bring strong winds, heavy rainfall, storm surges, and flooding. The extent of damage also depends on factors like the hurricane's intensity, speed, and size, as well as the vulnerability of the affected area.
Generally not, considering that a hurricane is a kind of cyclone and is the most powerful type. The most destructive cyclone on record (in terms of monetary value of property destroyed) was probably Hurricane Katrina in 2005 which causes approximately $81 billion in damage, equivalent to about $91 billion in today's dollars
Earthquakes have caused more deaths than hurricanes, and hurricanes have caused more deaths than lightning.
it all depends on the size of hurricane but in most cases the water or wind

Both hurricanes and tornadoes vary in the amount of damage they cause. Both can occur without causing any damage or can caused utter devastation. Overall, damage from tornadoes tends to be more severe,but hurricanes generally cause a greater quantity of damage because they cover much larger areas.

Both tornadoes and hurricanes can cause severe wind damage. These include uprooted and snapped trees, destroyed trailers, and roofs removed from houses. Aside from this damage is very different as the damage from tornadoes is often more severe on a localized than that of hurricanes. Most hurricane damage is the result of flooding rather than wind.
Yes, water from storm surges, flooding, and heavy rainfall often causes more destructive impacts during hurricanes than the high winds themselves. This water can lead to widespread flooding, property damage, and loss of life, making it one of the most dangerous aspects of a hurricane.
The mass of the wavefront causes most of the damage.
Physical injury is one of the most common causes of damage to the nervous system.
