Minpressure_Updated_2014

NDAM

normalized damage (in million $)

This dataset was collated by Jung et. al in their study Female hurricanes are deadlier than male hurricanes They hypothesised that hurricanes with more feminine names might be perceived as less dangerous and hence lead to people taking fewer precautionary measures, resulting in more death and damages.
