Hurricane Hugo


15th in the world's worst hurricanes list, a destructive category 5 hurricane, Hurricane Hugo struck Guadeloupe, Montserrate, St. Croix, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, and North Carolina during the 1989 Atlantic Hurricane season.

This is the first category 5 hurricane on this list from the last few decades and is included in order to show just how far hurricane preparation technology has come. By 1989, the government was more than capable of accurately tracking hurricanes, and of warning people of their danger in mere minutes."
