LISTED BY COST

The following are the costliest known Atlantic hurricanes in 2007 USD .



Listed by cost (United States only)

There are several ways to express the monetary cost of a hurricane, by inflation adjusted cost, cost at the time, and cost if the hurricane were to strike today. http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/E12.htmlhttp://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastcost.shtml

Care should be taken not to confuse "economic impact" estimates (often used for modern hurricanes like Katrina) with damage costs; it is the latter that are included in this list (and in all hurricane articles).

Note that these charts are only based on damage in the U.S.; the total in many of these storms is higher due to damage in the Caribbean , Central America , Mexico or Canada , but information for most storms that affected these areas is not consistently available except for very recent systems.

  • next to their name indicates the name was not retired.

LISTED BY NUMBER OF TORNADOES SPAWNED

Note that Tornado detection has increased markedly in recent decades, so the number of tornadoes are underestimated for older events.
