Hurricanes can have a dramatic impact on wealthy nations. Death tolls are generally not as high as in poor countries, but the cost of damage can be much higher due to the greater value of property in the storm's path. As an example, Hurricane Sandy had significant impacts in Haiti and Jamaica and was at peak intensity when it struck Cuba, but the vast majority of the cost of damage was in the United States. This is partly due to the great wealth of the U.S., though there were other factors such as the storm's large size and unusual behavior.
