A hurricane hitting the coast causes warm surface water to sink into cooler deep water, dramatically warming the overall ocean temperature and potentially fueling another storm. It can also kill thousands of people through flooding and property destruction. Repeated hurricane impacts over time can significantly erode coastal land like in Louisiana, where estimates show the state may completely erode in 200 years due to these effects.
