Hurricane Tristan
(Strongest of all three)
Category: 5
Max Winds: ~325 km/h (202 mph)
Lowest Pressure: 882 mb
Damage: Around $215 billion
Deaths: ~9,400
Why it’s remembered:
Tristan exploded in strength extremely fast and stayed powerful for days. Coastal cities were flattened, storm surge reached record levels, and recovery took years.
Hurricane Chad
Category: 5
Max Winds: ~295 km/h (183 mph)
Lowest Pressure: 895 mb
Damage: About $148 billion
Deaths: ~6,100
Why it’s remembered:
Chad caused massive flooding and one of the worst storm surges ever recorded. Entire neighborhoods were wiped out, and power grids collapsed across multiple regions.
Hurricane Taylor
Category: 4 (briefly Cat 5)
Max Winds: ~265 km/h (165 mph)
Lowest Pressure: 915 mb
Damage: Around $89 billion
Deaths: ~3,200
Why it’s remembered:
Taylor wasn’t the strongest, but it moved slowly. Days of nonstop rain caused landslides, floods, and long-lasting destruction.
