* Hurricanes (Typhoons/Cyclones): These are the most powerful storms on Earth, forming over warm ocean waters and characterized by intense winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges.
* Tropical Storms: These are similar to hurricanes but have slightly weaker winds. They can still cause significant damage.
* Tornadoes: While tornadoes typically form over land, they can sometimes develop over water, particularly near coastlines. They are powerful rotating columns of air that can cause immense destruction.
* Thunderstorms: These storms can form over both land and water, characterized by lightning, heavy rain, and strong winds.
* Nor'easters: These powerful winter storms develop along the East Coast of North America, bringing heavy snow, strong winds, and coastal flooding.
It's important to note that all of these storms can cause significant damage to coastal areas, including flooding, erosion, and infrastructure damage.
