The costliest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic was Hurricane Katrina, which struck the coastlines of Mississippi and Louisiana after brushing the tip of Florida, in August 2005, causing $108 billion (2005 USD) in property damage.
Hurricane Harvey seemed to spin up in an instant before hitting land on Aug. 26, only to come to rest for days over Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana. A mind-boggling 19 trillion gallons of rain fell in that storm, which triggered unprecedented flooding. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott estimates Harvey will cost the state up to $180 billion â more than epic Hurricane Katrina. Floodwaters surround houses and apartment complexes in West Houston, on Aug 30, after Hurricane Harveyâs rains led to widespread flooding in Texas.
