Summary

Description
English: Chart showing damage potential multiplier of wind in cyclones (hurricanes) as a function of wind speed
  • Data source: Hurricane Damage Potential. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) (8 September 2023). Archived from the original on 7 February 2025.
  • Source states: "Hurricane damage potential from: (1) Nordhaus, William D. "The Economics of Hurricanes in the United States" National Bureau of Economic Research (December 2006). (2) R. A. Pielke, Jr. and colleagues. "Normalized Hurricane Damage in the United States: 1900-2005" Natural Hazard Review (2008)"
  • Suggested caption: Wind damage varies exponentially with wind speed, so that small increases in wind strength can dramatically increase damage. Damages rise by about a factor of four for every category increase in the Saffir–Simpson scale. (NOAA ref)
  • Technical note: most SVG code was automatically generated by the "Line charts" spreadsheet linked at User:RCraig09/Excel to XML for SVG. Additions and adjustments were made in a text editor.
