really it just depends on the storm
The storm surge can do a lot of damage to the coastal areas think of the water rising on the coast I think with this storm at least 15ft in some areas.. So houses right on the beach would be wiped out.. But over all I'd say it's the winds..

The reason this storm was worse on the west coast is because it weakened a great deal by the time it hit the center of the state and the east coast. But if you look at a storm like Andrew it stayed strong the entire time and was like a giant tornado path all the way across the state.
