hurricane damage
Cyclone's costly aftermath
Hurricane damage is the destruction caused by hurricanes—the combination of high winds, storm surge, flooding, and flying debris that accompanies these powerful storms.
The term appears frequently in insurance contexts, where policies may specifically cover or exclude hurricane damage: The adjuster assessed the hurricane damage to our roof.
It also describes the broader aftermath: The town is still recovering from hurricane damage three years later.
