As the planet warms, hurricanes are changing. They are getting stronger faster, bringing more flooding rain, pushing farther inland after they make landfall and tracking farther north in general.
According to a new report from nonprofit organization First Street Foundation, those climate changes are exposing more people and properties to hurricanes’ damaging winds – with the potential to cause millions of dollars in damage in the coming decades.
Importantly, the report lays out how homeowners’ financial loss from hurricane damage is likely to increase significantly in surprising new places, including the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. As hurricanes are expected to trend more northward, losses due to wind damage are expected in all US coastal regions over the next 30 years. Losses in the Mid-Atlantic are expected to increase by 50%, and the Northeast will see a nearly 90% increase.
The probability of a hurricane in the North Atlantic strengthening into a major storm – a category 3 or higher – has increased from 10% in the 1980s to 40% today, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
