The Dutch progressive rock band FOCUS formed in Amsterdam in 1969 by keyboardist, vocalist, and flutist Thijs van Leer, drummer Hans Cleuver, bassist Martijn Dresden, and guitarist Jan Akkerman.

Yes, Hurricane winds uproot trees, pull down power lines, tear off roofs of buildings. High winds bring a storm surge where the tide is elevated several feet above normal sea level, so if you're at sea level or slightly above expect wide spread flooding. Often sand on the beaches gets swept over roads near the shore. Erosion makes roads and houses on stilts collapse. If it's high tide when the hurricane passes, the surge can be as much as 10 feet!.
