What is the Best Predictor of Landfalling Hurricane Damage?

by Jonathan Zawislak 21 October 202218 October 2022

A new study finds that the minimum sea level pressure, as another measure of hurricane strength, is a better predictor of hurricane damage in the United States than the maximum sustained wind speed.
