Worst Hurricanes In The History Of Humanity

Katrina

Hurricane Katrina is often referred to as a man-made, rather than natural, disaster by those who fault infrastructure problems for the decimation caused by this storm that ravaged New Orleans and other parts of the Gulf Coast. In all, Hurricane Katrina claimed 1,833 lives and at $108 billion is considered the costliest hurricane in U.S. history, though 2017’s Hurricane Harvey could surpass that amount once the damage is tallied.
