Hurricanes hold the title of “king” among the various types of natural disasters. With wind speeds well over 100 miles per hour, these massive storms have the potential to cause widespread destruction. There is no safe hurricane, yet, some hurricanes are stronger than others.
The amount of damage caused is heavily influenced by where it makes landfall. The growth of other systems can be slowed or perhaps be sped up by the presence of other systems.
We will look at the seven hurricanes recorded as having the highest wind speeds, the highest death tolls, and the highest damage costs.
