The chart shows what damage past hurricanes would cost if they hit now due to build up in the coastal areas (as of 2005). I don't know how to get it to format correctly into columns:

Care should be taken not to confuse "economic impact" estimates (often used for modern hurricanes like Katrina) with damage costs; it is the latter that are included in this list (and in all hurricane articles). Note that these charts are only based on damage in the U.S.; the total in many of these storms is higher due to damage in the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico or Canada, but information for most storms that affected these areas is not consistently available except for very recent systems.

This list does not include any pre-1900 and post-2005 hurricanes. It is thus likely that some of these hurricanes would have caused multi-billion dollar damages, adjusted for today's wealth. For example, the 1893 Sea Islands hurricane is estimated to about $50 billion in costs if it would hit Georgia today.[40]
