On average, there are 800 tornadoes in the US each year, causing about 80 deaths and 1500 injuries.
分析：这个句子是个简单句，causing的用法是（ ) 在句中作结果状语，相当于一个非限制性定语从句：（ ）about 80 deaths and 1500 injuries.
By the late 1890s, he had moved to Galveston, where he died in 1899, a year before the hurricane struck.
分析：这是一个复合句，主句为（ ）。难点在句子的后半部分：其中，where he died in 1899是一个（ ）定语从句，修饰先行词Galveston； a year before the hurricane struck 是同位语部分，对1899进行进一步解释说明。
The cemetery where Coghlan was buried was destroyed by the hurricane and Coghlan’s coffin ended up in the sea.
分析：这是一个复合句。主句是：The cemetery was destroyed and Coghlan’s coffin ended up in the sea. ( )引导的是个定语从句，修饰先行词the cemetery。
