The very worst hurricanes can cause billions of dollars of damage. This kind of damage is shown in the “Hurricane Sandy rips wall off building” video below. These gale force winds easily tear a brick wall clean from a building endangering everyone around it. While flooding and winds are common an lesser known effect of a hurricane is monster hail. In the "monster hail storm" video below a coastal neighborhood gets pounded by softball sized hail while residents can do little more than look on. These conditions make hurricanes like Irene, Fay, Isaac and Dennis some of the most costly natural disasters in the United States. But all of these might be surpassed by Hurricane Sandy in October of 2012.
