what kind of destruction does a hurricane cause? What are the Death Rates?
When a hurricane strikes a coastal area, it brings a number of serious hazards. These hazards include heavy rains, high winds, a storm surge, and even tornadoes. Storm surge pushes seawater on shore during a hurricane, flooding towns near the coast. Heavy rains cause flooding in inland places as well. Many homes and building can be damaged very badly and sometimes people lose their lives. Hurricanes kill an average of 47 per year. The death toll may increase or decrease some year because there might be more hurricanes or there might be very powerful hurricanes.
