Water/mudslides could be the most potentially dangerous problem. Two years ago around 1400 people in Guatemala were buried under 40 ft of mud in one village alone - all from water from Hurricane Stan.

Another clue of the water power - Was viewing a home in the Carribbean. There had been a hurricane a month earlier and they were redecorating. This home was on the top of a mountain - about 800 ft above sea level and a mile in from the coast.

The windows had been blown out and sea water spread across the ceilings at a 45 degree angle - this had been swept up from the coast and thrown into this home 800 ft up. Awesome power.
