A recent study done by AccuWeather Meteorologists reveals that hurricanes are growing strong. Weather experts analyzed data from recent storms and found that systems that do gain hurricane strength are becoming stronger and more powerful.
In the report they say warm water and more moisture in the air is what is causing storms to increase in intensity. Hurricanes are devastating for property owners, especially with hurricanes that reach a Category 3, 4, or 5 designation.
2020 was a record setting year for the most named storms, with more than 30 tropical systems named in the Atlantic. 2017 proved to be the costliest year as far as damage as Hurricanes Harvey, Maria, and Irma all made landfall as Category 4 storms. These three storms combined led to a staggering $283.6 billion in damage.
