You are basically correct.
However, inland is often covered with rivers - and yes, there is alot of flooding in many places. Oops, forgot to mention - once again, it’s not JUST wind. It’s rain, too.
As for “breaks trees” - exactly - ruining power, destroying houses and cars, and killing people.
This is not a cakewalk.
The trees are the major bitch. Nobody gets out of that one.
