Chestnut Blight
Chestnut Blight
Chestnut blight, caused by the fungus Cryphonectaria parasitica, was introduced to the United States in the early 1900s, with the first documented outbreak occurring around 1904. The blight devastated the American chestnut population, which was once a dominant tree species in Eastern forests. By the 1950s, it had led to the near extinction of the American chestnut in its native range.
The widespread decline of the American chestnut tree was primarily caused by the introduction of the chestnut blight, a fungal disease caused by Cryphonectria parasitica, which was accidentally introduced to North America in the early 1900s. This disease devastated the population, as the American chestnut was highly susceptible to it. Additionally, ecological competition and changes in land use further contributed to the decline of this once-dominant species in eastern forests. Conservation efforts and breeding programs are ongoing to develop blight-resistant hybrids.

i think in the 1900s
None. Hurricane Sandy was in 2012, not in the 1900s. In 2012, Sandy cost at least $65 billion from the damage it caused.
