Nope. NJ had the most Sandy related claims followed by CT, but NY actually dropped. Net claims caused by Sandy were about 5,000. MI, OH, PA, MD, NC, and WA all had over 1000 and were not hurricane related with about 21K in claims.

So yeah, the headline is BS. Surprise surprise.

Good info. Thanks.

That the BLS would give us BS is "unexpected." ;-)
