What kind of destruction can be caused by the violent wind? Write in 80-100 words plzzzz
Answers
The main effects of tropical cyclones include heavy rain, strong wind, large storm surges near landfall, and tornadoes. The destruction from a tropical cyclone, such as a hurricane or tropical storm, depends mainly on its intensity, its size, and its location.Damaging winds are often called “straight-line” winds to differentiate the damage they cause from tornado damage. Strong thunderstorm winds can come from a number of different processes. Most thunderstorm winds that cause damage at the ground are a result of outflow generated by a thunderstorm downdraft.The wind is simply air in motion, flowing from high atmospheric pressures to low pressures. Moving anything requires a force. Strong winds are due to a strong pressure gradient force. ... So, when pressure changes rapidly over a small distance, the pressure gradient force is large.Wind speeds can reach up to 100 mph and can produce a damage path extending for hundreds of miles.

Over 1 million people have been forced to evacuate in North and South Carolina to avoid the wrath of Hurricane Florence.
The category 4 storm, which is producing maximum sustained wind speeds of 140 mph, is expected to make landfall in southeastern North Carolina by Thursday night into Friday morning, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.
The NHC said Tuesday that said life-threatening storm surges are likely along the coasts of South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. The hardest-hit areas are expected to face 15-20 inches of flooding through Saturday.
Residents along the coast began receiving evacuation orders on Monday. Virginia Governor Ralph Northam ordered the evacuation of 245,000 residents in flood-prone coastal areas along the eastern shore, while South Carolina Governor Henry McMast ordered the evacuation of 1 million residents
