https://weather.com/storms/severe/news/billion-dollar-disasters-weather-us-2016 ; This year might be the record year for billion dollar weather disasters in the United States. In 2015, there were 9 such disasters, yet most of the disasters of this year have occurred early in the year. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/billions/events notes that some of these have cost over 2 billion dollars, not to mention the wildfire that in Canada, which cost over 5 billion dollars. Since 1980, the United States had to spend about 1.4 trillion dollars because of natural disasters! Unfortunately, people are living where they shouldn't. So, what will next year bring?!
