From June to November, the Atlantic Ocean becomes the breeder of one
of the most destructive natural disasters, creating monstrous hurricanes
that strike the United States, year after year. It is no surprise how
powerful and destructive these storms are and when hurricanes make
landfall; not only do they leave behind destruction but also a very
expensive bill.From Hurricane Ike, which so far is the longest-living hurricane, to
Hurricane Wilma, the most intense Hurricane on record, billions of
dollars were spent to recover from the damage. There was also Hurricane
Katrina which caused a catastrophic storm surge and Hurricane Andrew
produced extreme winds at landfall. But how do these ravaging storms
rank when it comes to cost? So we're counting down on the top five
most-costly hurricanes to hit the U.S.
