The Everglades do experience hurricanes and tornadoes.

• Hurricanes can cause significant damage, including storm surges and strong winds that can strip trees of their leaves and limbs.
• The Everglades’ wetlands act as a buffer, but they can still sustain severe damage from hurricanes, as seen with events like Hurricane Irma in 2017.
• Tornadoes have also been reported to affect the region, particularly in the context of hurricanes.

Overall, while hurricanes and tornadoes can impact the Everglades, they also play a role in the natural processes that support its ecosystem recovery.
