The Wall Street Journal recently reported that the value of coastal development in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina has increased $250 billion over the last five years, while the value of flood-insured property has decreased. Of course every storm is going to be a financial disaster!

That’s why the correct way to cost storms is by normalizing for growth in the economy and/or insured value. The most expensive storm ever, by 2x, is the Miami hurricane of 1928.
