This repository hosts an assessment of the factors driving the costs of hurricane damage in the Atlantic (2000-2023). I build and use a multiple regression model for storm damage costs and visualize predictions by wind speed and rainfall, two factors expected to increase in severity under the influcence of climate change.

I used Kaggle's North American Hurricanes from 2000 dataset to develop a model of the factors driving hurricane damage costs. It is included with this repository.

The atlantic-hurricanes.qmd details the steps taken to conduct the analysis.
Thank you to Professor Max Czapanskiy for assigning this as the final project for EDS222: Statistics for Environmental Data Science.
