>No way a hurricane is going to destroy a 16 ton fighter jet. And that's the F22's empty weight.
That's incorrect. I lived through Hurricane Andrew. Michael was 2-3 mps from cat 5. Clearly you have no idea what a cat 5 is like or how storm damage occurs. A hurricane would destroy a 16 ton pile of bricks, a 16 ton house, a 16 ton pile of apples, blow over a 16 ton train, etc. Weight isn't a factor. Planes are meant to interact with air via wings. A 155 mph wind will lift the plane via the wing as if it was flying. Then, you fail to consider that the hurricane caused something to fall on the plane.
The eye of such an intense hurricane is far larger than the diameter of the largest and strongest of tornadoes, and hurricanes move slower, meaning winds impact more area for a longer duration. A cat 5 hurricane has sustained wind speeds of an EF3 tornado and wind gusts of an EF4 tornado. What a cat 5 hurricane doesn't outright destroy, it will move or erode piece by piece. Only structures built to very particular specifications will survive. Hurricanes also spawn tornadoes. So those are roaming around while the winds from the hurricane are blowing. Then add rain and storm surge to the mix.
