The CME Hurricane Index (CHI) is a proprietary index that provides a numerical measure of the potential damage arising from a hurricane. Using publicly available data from the National Hurricane Center of the National Weather Service, the CHI calculates the potential for damage for each official storm by reference to its maximum wind velocity and size (radius). The CHI tracks storms in designated areas in the Gulf of Mexico and the eastern seaboard of the United States, from their origin until finality.
