Here are the top costliest and deadliest hurricanes to strike the U.S. mainland:6. Sandy's storm surge caused catastrophic damage in New Jersey and New York, and high winds knocked out power for millions. Between 1,000 and 2,000 people are believed to have died from the storm, according to the NHC. A storm surge of nearly 18 feet swept away all but one house in the small community of Cheniere Caminanda, located west of Grand Island. "This hurricane caused heavy casualties and extensive destruction along its path from the Leeward Islands to Florida," the NHC says in a fact-sheet.
