Three monster hurricanes swept in from the Atlantic during the summer of 2017, one after another, shattering storm records and killing hundreds of people. First, Hurricane Harvey brought catastrophic rain and flooding to Houston, causing $125 billion in damage. Less than two weeks later, Hurricane Irma lashed the Caribbean with 180 mile per hour winds and decimated the island of Barbuda.
