The deadliest known Atlantic hurricane was the Great hurricane of 1780 with at least 22,000 fatalities. The deadliest tropical cyclone (generic term for hurricane, typhoon, etc.) on record was the Bhola cyclone of 1970, which killed at least 300,000 people.
Hurricane Katrina in 2005 is considered one of the worst hurricanes in US history in terms of damage and loss of life. It caused catastrophic destruction along the Gulf Coast, particularly in New Orleans and Mississippi.
Hurricane Andrew resulted in approximately $27 billion in damages, making it one of the costliest hurricanes in US history. The storm impacted southern Florida in August 1992, causing widespread destruction and leaving many communities devastated.

No, global warming is not a warning because there is to much poison gases in our surrounding and they are harmful for us.
$2.1 billion
They were both hurricanes that caused costly, extensive damage to populated areas of the US, Andrew in 1992 and Katrina in 2005. Both hurricanes created devastation in areas of the state of Louisiana, Katrina moreso because of her stronger winds and storm surge. Both storms were, at their peak, among the strongest of hurricanes, being classified as Category 5 storms. Andrew was, at the time, considered the most costly hurricane to ever strike the US, doing more than $26 billion USD in damage. Katrina did more than 4 times as much damage at $108 billion USD. Only the Great Miami Hurricane of 1926 may have caused more damage when adjusted to current dollars.
The costliest hurricane in U.S. history was Hurricane Katrina in 2005 with an estimated 81.2 billion dollars in damages.
