Description:This technical memorandum lists the thirty deadliest and costliest hurricanes in the United States from 1900-2000. The compilation ranks damage, as expressed by monetary losses, in three ways: 1) contemporary estimates; 2) contemporary estimates adjusted by inflation to 2000 dollars; and 3) contemporary estimates adjusted for inflation and the growth of population and personal wealth. In addition, the most intense hurricanes to make landfall in the United States during the period 1900-2000 are listed. Some additional statistics on United States hurricanes of this and previous centuries, and tropical cyclones in general, are also presented.
