Reefs can handle hurricanes much better than everything we do to them.

Reefs have been dealing with hurricanes longer than we have. Probably way safer to be underwater than up on land during a hurricane.
Yes but unfortunately there may be synergistic interactions (ie human and hurricane impacts are not independent).
From NOAA:
"Coral reefs have experienced these effects of hurricanes and survived for millions of years; however, in light of the rapidly changing climate, the ability of
corals to recover from severe storms, while facing the combined effects of increasing thermal stress and ocean acidification, could be extinguished."
