Indonesia seeds clouds to halt rain amid deadly flooding
Tropical storm-force winds are strong enough to be dangerous to those caught in them. For this reason, emergency managers plan on having their evacuations complete and their personnel sheltered before the onset of tropical storm-force winds, not hurricane-force winds.
Debris, such as signs, roofing material, siding and small items left outside become flying missiles during hurricanes. Winds can stay above hurricane strength well inland. In , Hurricane Charley made landfall at Punta Gorda on the southwest Florida coast and produced major damage well inland across central Florida with gusts of more than mph.
Atlantic and Eastern Pacific hurricanes are classified into five categories according to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale , which estimates potential property damage according to the hurricane's sustained wind speed. The strong winds of a tropical cyclone can cause dangerous waves that pose a significant hazard to mariners and coastal residents and visitors. When the waves break along the coast, they can produce deadly rip currents - even at large distances from the storm.
Even Slight Rain Can Significantly Increase Risk of Fatal Crash, Study Says
Rip currents are channeled currents of water flowing away from shore, usually extending past the line of breaking waves, that can pull even the strongest swimmers away from shore. In , despite the fact that Hurricane Bertha was more than a 1, miles offshore, the storm resulted in rip currents that killed three people along the New Jersey coast and required 1, lifeguard rescues in Ocean City, Maryland, over a 1 week period.
In , all six deaths in the United States directly attributable to tropical cyclones occurred as the result of drowning from large waves or strong rip currents. Hurricanes and tropical storms can also produce tornadoes. These tornadoes most often occur in thunderstorms embedded in rain bands well away from the center of the hurricane; however, they can also occur near the eyewall.

Usually, tornadoes produced by tropical cyclones are relatively weak and short-lived, but they still pose a significant threat. Disclaimer Information Quality Help Glossary.
