Answer 1

The main damage is caused by the storm surge. Waves crush buildings, and floods damage buildings as well.

Answer 2

The storm surge associated with a hurricane inundates the low lying areas of the coastal regions (with sea water )drowning human beings and livestock,eroding beaches, destroying vegtation and reducing soil fertility.Drinking water sources are polluted causing outbreak of epidemics.

Very strong winds may damage installations, dwellings, communication systems,trees etc.,resulting in loss of life and property.

Heavy and prolonged rains may cause river floods and submergence of low lying areas by rain causing loss of life and property.
