Worst Hurricanes In The History Of Humanity

Hurricane Harvey

After traveling through the Gulf of Mexico in late August 2017, Hurricane Harvey arrived in the United States as a Category 4 storm. It was the first major hurricane to make landfall in the continental United States in a decade, after 2005’s Hurricane Wilma, and the arrival of Harvey coincided with its peak intensity: winds of 130 mph (215 kph).
