How many hurricanes per season would it take to leave a region permanently paralyzed?
FEER 017 said
It depends on a number of variables including intensity, size and duration of the hurricanes, the amount of precipitation and related legacy, as well as the period between successive events, proximity of the points of landfall, geophysics and topography of the region, socioeconomic impact and so on.
