- everdev 7y agoMostly higher rainfall / flooding (due to warmer waters). For wind, it sounds modest. They project the strongest hurricanes to be 5% stronger (windier) by 2100 than the strongest hurricanes today. Of course there are other factors too like sea level rise which isn't factored in I don't think. If your city is already flooded and a hurricane hits, I'd imagine the damage would be worse or last for longer.
