of the coast with the storm surge. It's without question, though, the vast majority of the damage from a hurricane is wind related.

Flooding became an issue in New Orleans because it's a bowl and beneath sea level and the levees breached. Flooding was also a problem in Houston with the huge amount of rain into the Brazos River and its tributaries.

I have plenty of pictures from Hurricane Katrina that was wind only with no water damage at all.

Damage to Joplin was estimated at $2.8 billion, but wasn't even close to Katrina at $108 billion.
