Deadliest, Costliest, and Most Intense United States Tropical Cyclones from 1851 to 2010 (and Other Frequently Requested Hurricane Facts).

摘要

This version of the Deadliest, Costliest, and Most Intense United States Tropical Cyclones extends the work of Blake et al. (2007) to include 2007-2010 and revised hurricane best track data from the period 1915-1930. In addition, estimates from several storms are updated to correct errors as well as to include a more standardized methodology. In most storms since 1995, estimates of flood damage from the National Flood Insurance Program are included in the total damage estimates for a more realistic total. The technical memorandum also continues the methodology of Pielke et al. (2008) to produce an estimate of the monetary loss that historical hurricanes could exact on the current property-at-risk in the same location.
