Storm surge, tornadoes, heavy rainfall, high winds, riptide, and death are the most major effects of hurricanes.
Storm surge
While a hurricane is approaching the coast, the sea level increases swiftly. Since the sea level rises, the amount of water can cause many deaths from drowning. Suction from the low pressure of the storm and strong winds cause storm surge.
Tornadoes
Some hurricanes can develop multiple tornadoes while other produce none. In 1967 there was a hurricane named Hurricane Beulah which developed 141 tornadoes along the coast of Texas. Over 1/2 of the hurricanes that hit the land of an area will produce a tornado. Hurricanes that bring hail or lightning are likely to not produce tornadoes. A tornado can also occur if the area affected by a hurricane still has a low pressure system.
Heavy rainfall
Between 6 and 12 inches of rain can fall. This is enough rain for a flooding to occur. Most damage happens where there are many corporations and buildings. Most people who die in hurricanes die because of being drowned in floods. The terrain, storm speed, ground saturation, and other weather systems in the area are all factors for the amount of rainfall during a hurricane. 6 hours before and after the hurricane reaches land, there is the most amount of rainfall. The remnants of a hurricane can come together with other weather systems and form additional weather issues such as thunderstorms.
High winds
Even if a building has a fairly sturdy structure, high wind speeds can make the building topple down. Debris will be everywhere. If a big chunk of a building falls down on you the chances are unlikely that you will survive. A countless number of things can fall from the sky due to strong winds. Not only are they falling from the sky, but they are hurtling toward you very quickly.
Rip Tide
Rip tides are sea currents that are very strong.When strong winds push water towards the shore, rip tides form. If rip tides start to form, that is a sign that a hurricane will probably form.
