Hurricane Earl is threatening Cape Cod's expensive real estate. But it takes a lot more to be one of America's Top 10 costliest hurricanes. Which hurricanes made the list? Click the right arrow to see.
Lasting from Aug. 25 to Sept. 10, 2004, Frances claimed seven lives as it rolled up the length of Florida, faded into a tropical depression, and moved across Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, and Vermont, before blowing itself out over Canada. At the time, it caused $8.9 billion of damage, according to NOAA's Hurricane Center. In today's dollars, that works out to be $10.3 billion.
