Hurricane earliest category 5 ever

A surprisingly powerful hurricane caused near total devastation in two Caribbean islands; nearly all buildings there were destroyed.

Each hurricane's devastation centers on a few places, but which places are hit each time is random. Any place in the hurricane zone could be devastated by the next hurricane. As global heating makes for more powerful hurricanes, buildings that formerly were probably safe become vulnerable.

(Different terms are officially used, rather than "hurricane", for similar storms in other parts of the world. For simplicity I write "hurricane" to refer to all of them.)

But hurricanes are just one of the dangers we are increasing. There are also wildfires, floods, desertification, ecological disruption, and the spread of tropical diseases and parasites. Many of these disrupt food production, and that is likely to cause mass starvation later this century.

To argue about how much some countries owe other countries because of global heating is divisive and shortsighted. All of humanity (and a lot of nature) is in danger from global heating. Instead of divisiveness, civilization must unite to curb global heating and decrease the future danger we are creating.
