Place the following hurricanes in order from least to greatest, based on the amount of monetary damages created by each. i. hurricane andrew ii. hurricane katrina iii. hurricane ivan a. i., ii., iii. b. ii., iii., i. c. iii., i., ii. d. i., iii., ii.

The correct answer is C. Hurricane Ivan was the least destructive hurricane of the list, while Hurricane Andrew was the second most destructive and Hurricane Katrina was the most destructive of all.

Explanation:

-Hurricane Ivan was the ninth tropical storm and the fifth Hurricane of the 2004 season. Ivan reached an "unprecedented" intensity in low latitudes, with maximum winds of 180 miles per hour, which classifies it as a category 5 hurricane. Ivan caused damages in Grenada, Barbados, Tobago, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Jamaica, Cuba, Venezuela and the United States.

-Hurricane Andrew was one of the most destructive tropical cyclones to hit the United States during the 20th century. Between August 16 and 28, 1992, it affected the islands of the northwest of the Bahamas, the area of Miami on the Florida peninsula and the south of Louisiana. Andrew left losses of $ 26 billion (most of this damage was to South Florida) and is the third most expensive hurricane in history (after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Sandy in 2012).

-Hurricane Katrina was one of the most destructive hurricanes in American history and the one that caused the most fatalities of the Atlantic hurricane season of 2005.

It is the hurricane that has caused the most economic damage, as well as one of the five deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States. Likewise, Katrina is the sixth most intense hurricane recorded in the Atlantic. At least 1833 people died due to the hurricane itself or the subsequent floods, becoming the deadliest hurricane in the United States since Hurricane Okeechobee in 1928; the total amount of material damage was initially estimated at 108 billion dollars, almost four times that of the damage caused by Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

the beginning of the iditarod trail sled dog race. the iditarod trail sled dog race first ran to nome in 1973.   the trail they used is today known as the iditarod trail, first surveyed by the alaska road commission in 1908 and now one of the national historic trails as so designated by the congress of the united states.

what inspired

the children of nome were dying in january 1925. infected with diphtheria, they wheezed and gasped for air, and every day brought a new case of the lethal respiratory disease. nome’s lone physician, dr. curtis welch, feared an epidemic that could put the entire village of 1,400 at risk. he ordered a quarantine but knew that only an antitoxin serum could ward off the fast-spreading disease.the nearest batch of the life-saving medicine, however, rested more than 1,000 miles away in anchorage. nome’s ice-choked harbor made sea transport impossible, and open-cockpit airplanes could not fly in alaska’s subzero temperatures. with the nearest train station nearly 700 miles away in nenana, canine power offered nome its best hope for a speedy delivery.sled dogs regularly beat alaska’s snowy trails to deliver mail, and the territory’s governor, scott c. bone, recruited the best drivers and dog teams to stage a round-the-clock relay to transport the serum from nenana to nome. on the night of january 27, 1925, a train whistle pierced nenana’s stillness as it arrived with the precious cargo—a 20-pound package of serum wrapped in protective fur. musher “wild bill” shannon tied the parcel to his sled. as he gave the signal, the paws of shannon’s nine malamutes pounded the snow-packed trail on the first steps of a 674-mile “great race of mercy” through rugged wilderness, across frozen waterways and over treeless tundra.even by alaskan standards, this winter night packed extra bite, with temperatures plummeting to 60 degrees below zero fahrenheit. although every second was precious as the number of confirmed cases in nome mounted, shannon knew he needed to control his speed. if his dogs ran too fast and breathed too deeply in such frigid conditions, they could frost their lungs and die of exposure. although shannon ran next to the sled to raise his own body temperature, he still developed hypothermia and frostbite on the 52-mile leg to tolovana before handing off the serum to the second dog team.
