They can topple unanchored [[mobile home]]s, as well as uproot or snap weak trees. Poorly attached roof shingles or tiles can blow off. [[Coastal flooding]] and [[pier]] damage are often associated with Category 1 storms. Power outages are typically widespread to extensive, sometimes lasting several days. Even though it is the least intense type of hurricane, they can still produce widespread damage and can be life-threatening storms.<ref name="NHC SSHS"/> Hurricanes that peaked at Category 1 intensity and made landfall at that intensity include: <!--This list only includes storms that both peaked and made landfall at Category 1 intensity. Also, please maintain a limit of 20 storms per Saffir-Simpson category, eliminating older and less notable systems as more recent storms make landfall. The reason for maintaining a limit of 20 storms is that as of October 25, 2023, there have been 19 hurricanes that have made landfall while at Category 5 strength in the Atlantic basin and one in the east Pacific, and each category should have the same number of examples to maintain consistency.-->[[Hurricane Juan (1985)|Juan]] (1985), [[Hurricane Ismael|Ismael]] (1995), [[Hurricane Danny (1997)|Danny]] (1997), [[Hurricane Stan|Stan]] (2005), [[Hurricane Humberto (2007)|Humberto]] (2007), [[Hurricane Isaac (2012)|Isaac]] (2012), [[Hurricane Manuel|Manuel]] (2013), [[Hurricane Earl (2016)|Earl]] (2016), [[Hurricane Newton (2016)|Newton]] (2016), [[Hurricane Nate|Nate]] (2017), [[Hurricane Barry (2019)|Barry]] (2019), [[Hurricane Lorena (2019)|Lorena]] (2019), [[Hurricane Hanna (2020)|Hanna]] (2020), [[Hurricane Isaias|Isaias]] (2020), [[Hurricane Nicholas|Nicholas]] (2021), [[Hurricane Julia (2022)|Julia]] (2022), [[Hurricane Lisa (2022)|Lisa]] (2022), [[Hurricane Nicole (2022)|Nicole]] (2022), [[Hurricane Debby (2024)|Debby]] (2024), and [[Hurricane Oscar (2024)|Oscar]] (2024). {{Clear}}
