The Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900 was formed on August 27, 1900 and didn’t disform until September 15, 1900. It first ripped through Cuba, Hati, the Dominican Republic, and south Florida, then made its way into the Gulf of Mexico destroying the southern coasts of Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Mexico. It’s called the Galveston Hurricane because of the bad damage it caused to the city of Galveston, Texas. 

It was a major category 4 hurricane, and caused 20 million dollars in damage in damage (U.S. money in the year 1900) and the death of 8,000- 12,000 people making it the 3rd largest hurricane in recorded history.

Hurricane Flora

Cuban town demolished by the storm.

Hurricane Flora was a major category 4 hurricane that struck Cuba and Haiti from September 26- October 13, 1963.

It resulted in about 773 million dollars (U.S. dollars 1963) because of the damage. Unlike the other hurricanes on this list, the fatalities were mostly from wind, not flooding or mudslides. It resulted in 7,000 deaths making it the 5th worst hurricane in recorded history.

Most of the Deaths were in Haiti, which had 3,006 deaths alone. This was mostly because they didn’t think it was even going to come near to the island, so they didn’t make preparations. 

Overall, it cost the nations that it hit 7.94 billion dollars (U.S. dollars 2004), and 3,037 fatalities, mostly in Haiti. 

Hurricane David

Destroyed beach houses in North Carolina.

Hurricane David was a massive category 5 hurricane that hit the countries of Dominica, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba, the Bahamas, and the U.S. states of Florida Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina from August 25- September 8, 1979. It first made landfall on the small island of Dominica, then moved on to the Caribbean Islands and the East Coast of the United States. It especially caused a massive loss of live in the Domicican Republic, because they were ill-prepared for the storm. 

It caused a total of 1.34 billion dollars in damage (U.S. dollars 1979) and also 2,069 deaths, 2,000 of which were in the Dominican Republic, making it the 8th deadliest hurricane in recorded history. 

Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina was a monstrous hurricane that directly hit the city of New Orleans, Louisiana and other places in the United States and the Bahamas from August 23- August 31, 2005. This category 5 hurricane swept through the Bahamas, then made its way into the gulf coast. It especially affected the city of New Orleans, because the people were told to evacuate, but didn’t and there was a great loss of life there. Also the ground in the city is below sea level.

It swept through the cities of Biloxi, Gulfport, Pasachougla, then finally going through the city of New Orleans, Louisiana. It cost the United States and the Bahamas 125 billion dollars (U.S. 2005) making it the costliest hurricane ever (tied with Hurricane Harvey), and also 1,836 deaths, especially in the United States. 

1893 Cheniere Caminada Hurricane

Town in Louisiana destroyed by the hurricane.

The 1893 Cheniere Caminada Hurricane was a major category 4 hurricane that hit the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, then hitting southern Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. It formed on September 27, 1893 and disformed on October 5. With winds up to 130 m.p.h. The hurricane ripped through the Yucatan Peninsula on September 29th, but it didn’t do much damage in Mexico. The reason it’s called the Cheniere Caminada is because it killed 779 of the 1,500 residents of the Louisiana town Cheniere Caminada.
