  create widespread damage

Step-by-step explanation:

Hurricanes are tropical storms that generally develop over the Atlantic ocean. The ones of concern in the US are the ones that follow a westward path. They generally gain strength over water, and dissipate over land. They can last several days, though their movement generally means the worst impact in a given area lasts only a matter of hours. (Clean-up may take months or years.)

Hurricanes are one of the largest of storm systems, so can cause widespread damage.
