"When we start to get $50 billion or higher in total direct losses included in insured and uninsured losses. I think that’s what… that’s an arbitrary threshold that really seems to differentiate truly historic events within the hundreds and hundreds of billion dollars of disasters that we have cataloged over the decades. So 50 billion and up. And I think that Helene and Milton will likely approach, if not exceed that threshold."

"I’ve told people the impacts from Helene are really like western North Carolina’s Katrina or Sandy. That’s how impactful it has been. It’s been devastating and it will take years to recover."

"The areas of the country that were most impacted by Helene, by most measures, far less than 5% of the citizens impacted carried flood insurance. And so what we’re saying time and again, people are making decisions based on outdated information."

STORYLINE:
Monstrous hurricanes Helene and Milton caused so much complex havoc that damages are still being added up, but government and private experts say they will likely join the infamous ranks of Katrina, Sandy and Harvey as super costly $50-billion-plus killers.
Making that even more painful is that most of the damage — 95% or more in Helene’s case — was not insured, putting victims in a deeper financial hole.
In the last 45 years, and adjusted for inflation, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has counted 396 weather disasters that caused at least $1 billion in damage. Sixty-three of those were hurricanes or tropical storms.
