What weather phenomenon is often a consequence of strong hurricanes?

Fact

Did you know?

Coastal flooding, exacerbated by hurricane storm surges, represents one of the greatest threats to coastal areas. These floods can cause catastrophic damage to infrastructure and ecosystems, as well as to human life. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 dramatically showed how devastating coastal flooding can be. Flood risk management and urban planning are therefore crucial in regions vulnerable to hurricanes.
