This is the second of a two part series discussing hurricanes during the 20th century. In Part I, Paul J. Hebert and Glenn Taylor analyzed the 129 direct hits by hurricanes to Gulf and Atlantic coast states. The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 is the deadliest hurricane on record accounting for over 6,000 deaths. The most intense hurricane to strike the United States occurred in 1935 when a storm reading 26.35 barometric inches hit the Florida Keys. The costliest storm to date is Hurricane Agnes which caused over $2,100,000,000 worth of damage to Florida and the northeastern United States.
