The National Centers for Environmental Information ("NCEI") at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ("NOAA"), in consultation with the National Hurricane Center ("NHC"), has updated the listing of costliest tropical hurricanes to strike the United States mainland.

A table, not adjusted for inflation, lists 36 tropical cyclones from 1900 to 2017 that caused at least $1 billion in damage on the U.S. mainland, and another five striking U.S. territories or Hawaii. A second table accounts for inflation to 2017 dollars.

In both of those tables, for all United States hurricanes, Katrina (2005) is the costliest storm on record. Now, Hurricane Harvey (2017) ranks second, Hurricane Maria (2017) ranks third, Superstorm Sandy (2012) ranks fourth, and Hurricane Irma (2017) ranks fifth.
