moves toward land, a (surge / destruction) of water<br />

can cause fl ooding in coastal areas. When a hurricane fi nally makes<br />

(waves / contact) with the land, high winds<br />

are a serious threat. These powerful storms can cause much<br />

(destruction / atmosphere) to (surges / property)<br />

. The cost of (contacts / damages)<br />

from a hurricane can reach billions of dollars.<br />
