What type of damage can a hurricane cause?

In: Hurricanes Typhoons and Cyclones [Edit categories]

Answer:

Any answer will depend on the strength, speed and location of the storm relative to a large body of water. A powerful, slow, rain producing storm will cause a great deal more damage in coastal areas as opposed to a weakened, fast moving, low rainfall producing storm that has moved inland. This answer only gives a general answer. Change the variables to get a different response.
