This map shows how hurricanes impact States where nearly 57% of the U.S. population (2010) lives. Some of the damage hurricanes cause is direct and easy to see – wind and flood damage are fairly obvious. Other damage may not be so clear. From economic damage caused by business interruption and population relocation to road damage from heavy equipment used during immediate and long-term recovery efforts, the impact of a hurricane may be felt for decades.
