Hurricane Maria, the third-strongest hurricane ever to hit the US, left 100% of Puerto Rico without power. It's on the move in the Caribbean.
All other 47 Atlantic hurricanes to have caused as much damage have had their names retired, excluding recent hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria of the 2017 season. The first hurricane to cause at least $1 billion in damage was Hurricane Betsy in 1965, which caused much of its damage in southeastern Louisiana, and the latest hurricane to cause at least one billion dollars of damages has been Hurricane Maria.
