11. Andrew
Only four category 5 hurricanes have made landfall in the U.S. Hurricanes are measured on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which runs from Category 1 up to Category 5. Currently it only measures the wind speeds produced by a hurricane but won’t necessarily tell you about tornadoes, or flooding or other extremely damaging things that come along with it.
10. Mitch
Hurricane Mitch struck Central American in late October 1998, earning itself the title of the second-deadliest Atlantic hurricane on record and the deadliest hurricane to hit the Western Hemisphere in over 200 years.
9. Great Hurricane Of 1780
Back in October 1780, before the World Meteorological Association began naming hurricanes -- or even existed, for that matter -- a powerful storm that came to be known as the Great Hurricane of 1780 tore through the Caribbean like a battering ram, ultimately claiming 20,000 lives.
8. Hugo
Hurricane Hugo was a Cape Verde storm -- a type of hurricane that forms in the deep tropics at low latitudes, resulting from a tropical wave that travels from west Africa and passes over the Cape Verde Islands. Hugo began forming on September 9, 1989, and intensified as it crossed the Atlantic. Within days, wind speeds exceeded 74 miles per hour (119 km/hr), eventually reaching sustained speeds of 190 miles per hour (305.8 km/hr), qualifying Hugo as a Category 5 storm.
7. Camille
Hurricane Camille started as a tropical wave off the African coast on August 5, 1969, moving west across the Atlantic before becoming a tropical depression south of Cuba nine days later. The next day, Camille struck western Cuba as a Category 2 Hurricane, and the storm was just getting started.
6. 1935 Labor Day Hurricane
Formally known as Hurricane Three, the Great Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 was the most intense hurricane on record ever to hit the U.S. in terms of pressure and one of four recorded Category 5 hurricanes to ever make landfall in the country.
5. Gilbert
On September 12, 1988, Hurricane Gilbert barreled into Jamaica, before traveling to Mexico and Texas. The storm first achieved hurricane status west of the Dominican Republic two days earlier before making landfall in Jamaica as a Category 5 storm with 175 mile- per hour winds. (281.6 km/hr).
4. Katrina
I feel bad just talking about this one! Luckily I was named before this happened and I was studying abroad that year. Hurricane Katrina was the costliest, most destructive, and one of the deadliest hurricanes ever to hit U.S. soil. It laid siege to the Gulf Coast, particularly the City of New Orleans, Louisiana, in late August 2005.
3. Galveston Hurricane
The Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900 is considered the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history. A Category 4 hurricane descended on the island city of Galveston, Texas on September 8 of that year with estimated wind speeds exceeding 135 miles per hour (217.3 km/hr). Over 3,600 buildings were destroyed, and fatalities numbering somewhere between 6,000 and 12,000.
2. Maria
In September 2017, a Category 5 hurricane named Maria battered the Caribbean islands of Dominica, St. Croix, and Puerto Rico. For all three, it was the worst disaster in recorded history. Maria was also the deadliest storm of the 2017 hurricane season, which also saw mass devastation at the hands of hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
1. Okeechobee Hurricane
Also known as the San Felipe Segundo hurricane, the Okeechobee hurricane of 1928 was the second deadliest recorded hurricane in the U.S. It first hit Guadeloupe, killing an estimated 1,200 people before proceeding on toward Martinique, Montserrat, and Nevis, all which sustained damages, although far less severe than the effects endured in Guadeloupe.

And also if im not mistaken, it took katrinas spot as the costliest storm. to add, never in my life have i seen it rain that hard. and Dorian should be on the list as well. it just stalled as a cat 5 for a day over the same spot with 180mph winds. thats insane

    Sometimes the impact of hurricanes are different on people. Example: Maybe Harvey was worse for someone than Katrina was. It all depends. For me the worst I went through was Matthew when it was a category 1. Two weeks prior, we had 20 inches dumped on my town and it just completely flooded us. We weren't expecting Matthew to practically stall over us 2 weeks after the storm and dump another 20 inches, nobody was. Nobody took Matthew seriously. In one month we had over 40 inches of rain, and I remembered my neighbors yard was soaked for what I think was 2 months. It was horrible for me because my mom is diabetic and we didn't have any sugar for her to have for when it got low. We were mostly focused on food and especially sugar so my mom could keep her levels good. We remembered a bag of candies and they ended up being just for mom. We were stranded, everything was closed, there was nowhere we could go to. It felt like we were on a stranded island with nowhere to get out. I have been in category 3 hurricanes, when I lived in Wilmington. But I got hit much worse with Matthew than any cat 3 I been in. People here remember what Matthew did and now when we have the possibility of being in a hurricane, people take it seriously. We were also hit by Florence. Florence didn't hold a candle to Matthew for me.

Water rushed into the church and was up to my chest. Had to put kids in the attic. Will never forget that. I hate hot tubs and watching water in buildings and homes because it triggers memories of that night.

    My uncle and aunt spent Hugo in their attic. The river they lived on, Charles?, that was normally above the tides, overflowed its banks due to storm surge and they ended up with about 4 feet of water in their house. On the other hand, I have lots of friends in Houston and one was out of her house over a year while it was being repaired after Harvey. She stayed with a friend whose apartment is built about 10 feet above average and about 16 to 20 feet above the nearby bayou. She said she watched the neighboring parking lots become lakes.

    My family evacuated from Plaquemines Parish in 1969 for Hurricane Camille. We lived in Buras and it hit the night before I turned 12. We were blessed to have only lost one house to hurricanes. So many of our neighbors had lost everything in 1965 due to Betsy. We were living up the Parish then. I remember my parents going up to the high school to locate people to bring home to feed and house. We were later taken in by relatives when we were displaced by Camille. I remember being horrified by the footage of Katrina. We were no longer living in the New Orleans area then. You just couldn't stop watching even though you wanted to. Such tragedy can be associated with natural disasters. You kind of have to live through them to really get a feel for the power they have. The horror stories of our youth...never want to deal with those again. Though, I suppose wherever you live, you are at risk of something dreadful happening.

The biggest traffic jam ever convinced me to never to leave again. During Harvey we got 55 inches of rain over 3 days but didn't flood. Not even sure how many hurricanes and tropical storms I've been through.

    At 6am on a Monday morning, Hurricane Katrina hit Grand Isle in Louisiana as a Category 5. I was watching trees fall and fly. Liight poles break and transformers burst then everything went out. It took over 30 days to get just the basic of necessities up. People were fighting in line for gas. Some had to travel far as 70 miles west toward Baton Rouge for gas just to have some sort of power.. I just love how some state it was a cat 3 or 4. Maybe by time it got to Hattiesburg I believe it was still a cat 3. I watched he'd a shark swim down Canal St in New Orleans for about a week. Wish facts stayed facts and stopped growing into the "LITTLE RED SCHOOL HOUSE THAT GREW!"

    With living on the Islands and later south florida, I have been in 23 hurricanes in total so very well trained on what too do in all catagorys. Most of them were weak from tropical storms to catagory 2. I have been through 2 catagory 5 Hurricanes and 3 catagory 4. The catagory 5s, one recent as it passed over my family's home in little torch key/big pine key as a cat 5. The island is still destroyed today. I went through Andrew as a catagory 5 also in 1992 which to me was the worst direct hit I ever experienced. I don't fear any Hurricane now with the emergency procedures in place but I will leave the area with anything over a catagory 3. Anything less, I will stay put.

    My first huracain was Hugo and last one Maria. I live in Puerto Rico and have seen a fair share of huracains and tropical storm and I havent been so scared in my life, the wind made a sound like something evil was roaring. That shit was nasty and some people in PR are still suffering from that. If not all, a HUGE number of puertoricans on the island have ptsd after that one.

    An Honorable Mention should have been handed out to the following 2 hurricanes. No, they weren't Category 5's, but they were able to create land, enough that the Willoughby family given a land grant amended it in 1667. That first storm has earned the title: The Dreadful Hurricane of 1667. This particular hurricane, according to legend created Willoughby Spit. Then there's another storm also attributed to the formation of Willoughby Spit, which is the Great Coastal Hurricane of 1806 which according to records makes it a Cat 2. So, not Category 5 Hurricanes, but perfectly displays these storms had enough force behind them to create a 7 Mile swath of land. Depending on which record is right, it's a swath of land that either about the same age or younger than Jamestown. Just food for thought.

    Worst hurricane since Europeans arrived was the great hurricane of 1780. Sustained winds of 190-200 mph, 25 foot storm surge, 22,000 dead. Strongest hurricane ever is believed to have hit Belize around 300. Effects of it are still in the geological record. Strength is unknown but probably winds of 210 + mph

    I've watched a lot of these top hurricane videos. And NEVER do I see hurricane michael from 2018 on any of them. It was a very powerful CAT FIVE direct hit on the Florida panhandle. It completely decimated Mexico beach Florida and destroyed houses and property in several surrounding counties. So you've never heard of it?? The 3rd most intense Atlantic hurricane to make landfall in the contiguous United States in terms of pressure. You know,the first Category 5 hurricane on record to impact the Florida Panhandle, the fourth-strongest landfalling hurricane in the contiguous United States, in terms of wind speed, and the most intense hurricane on record to strike the United States in the month of October??? Caused sea levels in the mexico beach are to rise 14ft!! Hasnt happened in 300 years! Michael is tied with the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane for the sixth-strongest tropical cyclone by wind speed to impact the United States (including its overseas territories)and was the fourth strongest to impact the U.S. mainland.[133] Additionally, Michael was the second-most intense hurricane by pressure to make landfall in Florida, behind the 1935 Labor Day hurricane, and the third strongest by wind, behind the 1935 Labor Day hurricane and Andrew. The WMO retired the name Michael from its rotating name lists, due to the extreme damage and loss of life it caused along its track. It left well over 600,000 people without power. That's 4% of the state! 5 counties resulted in a 100% electrical blackout. No? Never heard of it huh?? Exactly. That's why it has been dubbed the forgotten hurricane 5. We didnt get much national coverage we didnt get the federal aid in timely manners that other areas impacted by natural disasters get. We were and still are neighbors helping neighbors helping rebuild. Convoys of citizens with chainsaws and pickup trucks cutting roadways clear to make emergency travel possible. driveways cleared to check on the elderly and the missing. Not looking for sympathy as we are resilient people. But it never fails that our struggles, and the massive devastation has not and may not ever, be recognized.

    Hahaha...aww you poor thing, you sound so... "almost defeated", when you speak of hurricane Katrina. This is your second video I've seen where you mentioned "the hurricane". My opinion is, Katrina is a beautiful name and because you narrate the videos with your equally beautiful voice there is no doubt. "Hi, it's Katrina" , trumps that devastating natural disaster. ps: I agreed with another fan of Origins Explained that your voice is so beautiful if you read a phone book we would be there to listen to you.
