the most commonly known damage is by wind. The wind can damage buildings, and blow trees onto power lines.
After wind comes rain/flooding. Hurricanes loose their strength over land, and can dump a lot of rain on a local area in a very short period of time. Flash flooding can occur.
Next, there is storm surge. This is where the winds push ocean water against the shore as the hurricane approaches. The sea level appears to rise, and larger than normal waves on top of that can sweep miles inland. This would be on top of rain that has fallen in the same area.
