Straight-line winds can cause damage to buildings, trees, and other structures, and can be accompanied by rain or other forms of precipitation.

‍

• Tornado damage: Tornadoes are rotating columns of air that can produce winds of up to 300 mph. They can cause extreme damage to buildings, trees, and other structures, and can be accompanied by hail, lightning, and heavy rain.

‍

• Hurricane and tropical storm damage: These storms are characterized by strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surges, and can cause flooding, landslides, and other types of damage. Hurricanes are more powerful than tropical storms and can produce winds of 74 mph or higher.

‍

• Thunderstorm damage: Thunderstorms can produce strong winds, hail, and lightning, all of which can cause damage to buildings, trees, and other structures.
