Answer:

-Homes destroyed

-Fallen trees and power poles

-Power outages

-Uninhabitable area

Explanation:

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a 1 to 5 rating based on a hurricane's sustained wind speed, which is useful to estimates the potential property damage. From category 3 and higher, we consider them major hurricanes because of their potential for significant loss of life and damage.

Category 4 (209-251 km/h) and category (252 km/h or higher) hurricanes can cause catastrophic damages, <em>these include high percentage of framed homes will be destroyed (total roof failure and wall collapse), fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas, power outages that last for weeks to months and most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Why is there little plant life in the tundra
kumpel [21]

<em>The ground is frequently covered with snow until June, and the Sun is always low in the sky. Only plants with shallow root systems grow in the Arctic tundra because the permafrost prevents plants from sending their roots down past the active layer of soil. </em>
