text: hurricanes damage to the ecosystem?   not much more damage than it had done one hundred, two hundred or perhaps one thousand years ago.  our world has several natural disasters that have been occuring over time.  nowadays, however, with the growing populace, the media coverage and the ability to share that media with everyone quickly, something as simple as a hurricane, tornado or even the eruption of a volcano becomes an overnight sensation.  hurricanes actually do help, in civilized cultures, to improve detection and warning systems, as well as allow for new things to be rebuilt (and perhaps much better) after it does its damage.
