From NOAA document - Billion Dollar U.S. Weather/Climate Disasters
The U.S. has sustained 114 weather/climate disasters over the past 31+ years in which overall damages/costs reached or exceeded $1 billion. The total standardized losses for the 114 events exceed $800 billion. May I ask you to keep this visual in mind as we go to the next one.
