This century has seen the costliest hurricanes in U.S. history--but who bears the brunt of these monster storms? Consider this: five of the most expensive hurricanes in history have made landfall since 2005: Katrina ($160 billion), Ike ($40 billion), Sandy ($72 billion), Harvey ($125 billion), and Maria ($90 billion). Americans have built $3 trillion worth of property in some of the riskiest places on Earth: barrier islands and coastal floodplains.ains.
