caused by hurricanes
With hurricanes being as powerful as
they are, it is not surprising
that upon landfall they cause damage and destruction. Even when the hurricane
has yet to make landfall, its effects can be dangerous. However, most of the
damage caused to man and nature occur as a hurricane makes landfall.
Each of the above phenomena can turn a hurricane into a home-wrecker, a
nature-destroyer, and even a killer. Some tropical storms that make landfall
cause damage in these ways, but very rarely do they do so in as significant a
manner as do hurricanes.
