Answer

They caused property damage, injury, and loss of life for many citizens.
C
They led to extensive fraud and speculation.
D
They changed the state’s climate, which caused many citizens to leave.

Explanation

Storms and hurricanes can destroy homes and businesses, injure people, and cause deaths. That damage made land less attractive and disrupted the rapid buying and selling that fueled the boom. Choice B best describes this impact; fraud and speculation in choice C were separate problems.
