Destructive elements are becoming more commonplace

New research shows that high-power hurricanes, causing the most devastation, occur about 3 times more frequently than 100 years ago.

Experts have used a new method of measuring damage, which has found that global warming is a major cause of more serious damage.

The scientists did not focus on economic damage, but focused on areas that were completely destroyed by more than 240 hurricanes between 1900 and 2018.

Tropical cyclones, along with their hurricane-force winds and torrential rains, are one of the most devastating natural disasters. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused more than $ 125 billion in damage, and this year Hurricane Dorian claimed the lives of hundreds.
