How do hurricanes effect rich countries?
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.
Why do hurricanes form in the western pacific cause the most damage?
Hurricanes in the western Pacific are called typhoons. Due to the manner in which ocean currents spiral, water tends to be warmer and therefore more favorable for storms such as typhoons in the western part of an ocean. Since they occur in the tropics, hurricanes tend to move toward the west which, in the western part of an ocean, would bring them toward land and populated areas. Many of these storms encounter countries that feature a combination of high population density and poor construction, which is a recipe for disaster.
