Hurricanes could, and did, wipe out entire communities. It’s easy to forget how important the study of meteorology is, as well as how vital modern weather satellites are, in keeping people safe.
As one example of massive damage done in the not terribly distant past: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1900_Galveston_hurricane

Wow, I watch a show about restoring historic homes in Galveston and many are from before 1900. I’m surprised so many are still standing after a hurricane like that!
