As a general rule of thumb, the inner eye wall of the hurricane's right side (relative to the direction it is travelling) is the most dangerous part of the storm because of the additive effect of the hurricane wind speed and speed of the larger atmospheric flow (the steering winds). The increased winds on the right side increase the storm surge.
Storm surge is the greatest potential threat to life and property associated with hurricanes. A storm surge is a large dome of water -- 50 to 100 miles wide -- that sweeps across the coastline near where a hurricane makes landfall. It can be more than 15 feet deep at its peak.
The level of surge in a particular area is primarily related to the intensity of the hurricane and slope of the continental shelf.
The most destructive hurricane of 2005 was Hurricane Katrina. It was the most destructive hurricane ever recorded.
The eye wall is the most intense part of a hurricane. It contains the strongest winds and heaviest rainfall, causing the most destructive impacts.
The most destructive hurricane in North America is considered to be Hurricane Katrina, which struck the Gulf Coast in 2005. It caused catastrophic flooding in New Orleans and other areas, resulting in over 1,800 fatalities and causing an estimated $125 billion in damages.
For 2008 the worst hurricane was hurricane Gustau. It was the second most destructive hurricane of 2008.

The strongest and generally most destructive category of hurricane is category 5, though a hurricanes wind-speed based rating is not the only factor in how destructive a hurricane is.
No. Hurricane Katrina is still by far the most destructive hurricane in U.S. history and one of the deadliest. Hurricane Sandy is the second most destructive on record.

I think it's Katrina, and the deadliest hurricane was a hurricane in Galveston,Texas in 1900.

Most likely a hurricane, but tornados can be just as destructive.
