People don't realize the energy from high wind AND rain.
We deal with some insane winds in Southwest Kansas. We hit sustained 100mph wind a few years ago. Non-tornadic, straight line wind.
That's dry air. Hurricane air is HEAVY, moisture soaked air that carries a lot more mass and energy. Scary stuff.
