Examples Of Events That Can Place During Severe Weather
There are several event that can take place during severe weather than can be hazardous to people and property. Some of these include tornadoes, hurricanes, hail cores, lightning, and water spouts. These all fall under the atmospheric hazard category and each present a slightly different threat. For example, tornadoes can take place almost anywhere and bring high velocity winds, teeming with large and dangerous debris. Unlike tornadoes, hurricanes form over water and lift large amounts of ocean water up into the sky to be dumped later onto dry land causing serious flooding concerns. Hail cores, in the simplest description, is frozen water that builds into large ice pieces that fall from the sky creating a blunt force injury threat. Lightning

    The damage from an average tornado is limited to the actual path a funnel cloud took during the limited time it touched the ground. The accompanying storm may cause additional damage through lightning strikes or heavy rain, but the tornado itself causes the most trouble. Hurricanes pack high winds and tremendous rains, but the long-term damage is often caused by the floods which proceed it. Hurricanes force the ocean water ahead of them to build into high waves known as 'storm surges'. Combined with the natural high tides, these surges can overwhelm coastal areas and cause widespread power outages and flooding. Tornadoes do not generate storm surges, but large hail may be a secondary problem victims face.…

Even though, most tornadoes have winds reaching 100 miles an hour (Source 3). On the other hand, hurricanes can go up to 150 MPH (Source 4). Hurricanes and tornadoes can both cause thousands of dollars in damage. Although, 1,300 tornadoes hit the U.S. each year with an average cost of $500 million in damage (Source 3).
