That was an interesting little quiz. I learned a couple of things about hurricane history that I didn't know.

OK, on that Red Cross quiz, I have issues with Q's 6 and 10. See if you do too. The explanations say I got them right, along with the other 8....but my results say I only got 8 right.

There's a bug loose at that website!

Same here... what on earth??? I picked Andrew as costliest, it tells me I'm incorrect, THEN tells me Andrew WAS the costliest.

#10 I pick Strong winds(AKA shear) as the biggest limiting factor for storms to develop... it then says I'm wrong but precedes to tell me the correct answer which was what I chose.

Just for fun, I tried other answers for those two until I got them what called "correct," but of course weren't. #6 has a "correct" answer of Hugo (which was at the time second, now like fourth or fifth), whereas #10 is the sunspot activity one.

If you get 8/10 on that one and Q's 6 and 10 are the missed ones but are really right, you got 10/10 as far as I'm concerned.
