U.S. insured losses in March from severe weather are expected to pass $1.8 billion, according to Impact Forecasting, the catastrophe-model-development center for Aon Benfield.
U.S. events in the quarter included a severe-weather outbreak through parts of the Midwest, the Tennessee Valley and the Southeast during the first week of March, which spawned at least 65 tornadoes and caused over $1.1 billion in insured losses from over 170,000 claims.
Another system during the month hit the Great Lakes, and included a tornado that damaged or destroyed more than 200 homes in Dexter, Mich. That event is expected to cause about $150 million in insured losses from about 20,000 claims.
