[Hurricanehink]

Source?

[Jim Cantore]

I made it

as for the costs.....

more like sources, about 1 month of searching

NHC, Wikipedia mainly but I have likely looked at over 20 sites getting this

I think this list is original, I dont think anyone else bothers to list the 158 costliest Hurricanes and waste hours at a time, god I need a life.

[CrazyC83]

Many of those need to have the year added...

[HurricaneHunter914]

Even though on some parts I will have to disagree with you, you really out did yourself in finding all this information. And yeah ther are better things to do than file hurricane records.

[StormScanWx]

Why does Klaus have a * by it?

[Jim Cantore]

* = Remnents

[HurricaneHunter914]

So Kauses REMNENTS did that much damage?

[Jim Cantore]

yea in South Carolina and Georgia, along with help from TS Marco

[benny]

I'm pretty sure Wilma is up to at least 16.8 billion. NHC gave a talk at the governor's conference and they showed that figure... I think.... All I remember is that it was now #3 on the list (Katrina, Andrew, Wilma)

I'm hearing that number pop up more and more, I corrected it in

[HurricaneHunter914]

Yes! My favorite hurricane is now in the top 3.

[Jim Cantore]

because it hit you right?

[HurricaneHunter914]

That is one reason. The other is because it became the strongest hurricane ever pressure wise in October which is still suprising me.

[Jim Cantore]

not just in october but with a W name

[HurricaneHunter914]

Exactly, I mean I might even nominate Wilma for president.

[TheEuropean]

That is one reason. The other is because it became the strongest hurricane ever pressure wise in October which is still suprising me.

and the heaviest rainfall on Yucatan islands with more than 1500 mm in just 24h.

So, Wilma and Epsilon (my Avatar) are my favourites.

[Stratusxpeye]

1. Katrina $75,000,000,000 * FL Portion
3. Wilma $16,800,000,000 * FL (Was in Naples)
4. Charley $15,700,000,000 * FL (Was in Winterhaven)
5. Ivan $14,600,000,000
6. Rita $10,000,000,000
7. Frances $8,900,000,000 * FL NE Tampa
9. Jeanne $6,900,000,000 * FL NE Tampa
12. Isabel $3,370,000,000
16. Dennis $2,230,000,000

Bold Is my edit not quoted

Wow didn't really realize his before. 7 of the top 10 have been in the recent 3 years. Or since the year I moved to FL from NY. THE * Means I went through those ones also. 4 of the top 10 Experienced personally. WOW. Amazing Maybe I'm a magnet for them If I move back north maybe ya'll can take a break for a little while.

[Hybridstorm_November2001]

With storms like Carol in 1954 and Donna in 1960 are those in dollars at the time, or adjusted for today?

nothing is adjusted for inflation, all costs are as the were when they happened.
