The storm did terrible damage to the crops.
Literal
Storm [topic-は] crops [to-に] terrible damage [object-を] gave.
ひどい (terrible/awful) is a versatile colloquial intensifier — applicable to damage, behavior, weather, sickness, and more. ひどい損害 paired with 与えた (gave/inflicted) registers a strong negative impact. 作物 (crops) keeps it tied to agriculture.
