Here are a few casual links that I came up with. I will work on more later.
E>A>H Hurricanes, with wind speeds at 74 mph or higher, can blow anything (not tied down) into the freshwater lakes and streams, water supply, and oceans that could cause contamination to the water sources. (http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/refpages/RefArticle.aspx?refid=76156992).
E>A>H>B When the winds from the hurricane blows at 74 mph or higher it will help to blow the salt water in to the rains that are already falling, as well as any contaminates and when the rain falls into fresh water supplies it could cause the water to become polluted or cause the ph balance to be disturbed which, in turn, could bring death to any living things that strive in fresh water or make fresh water unfit for human consumption.

E>A>H The hurricane can spawn deadly tornadoes and storms that can cause torrential rains and flash flooding in any area in it's path. (Http://www.miamisci.org/hurricane/howhurrwork.html?310,177)
E>H>L The winds from the hurricane, especially if it is catorgorized as 3 or higher can cause very intense and high tides and waves which will cause serious beach erosion as it comes ashore.
