Herrero | The Conversation Worsening ocean heat waves are 'supercharging' hurricane damage, study finds /weather/2026-04-10/worsening-ocean-heat-waves-are-supercharging-hurricane-damage-study-finds In Friday's study researchers look at 1,600 landfalling storms in 41 years, the rapid intensification of those cyclones and the damage they cause especially when they go over big, long-lasting ocean hot spots. Those that go over marine heat waves are 60% more likely to cause at least $1 billion in damage. Hurricanes Helene, Milton and Otis are good examples.
