The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) has raised its estimate for insured vehicles damaged during Superstorm Sandy by more than 20,000, with New York state accounting for the bulk of the increase.
The NICB's current estimate now stands at 250,500, up from its November estimate of 230,000. New York saw its numbers rise most significantly, from 130,000 to 150,000. Ranking right behind New York in damaged autos is New Jersey, with its total unchanged at 60,000. Those two states account for the lion's share of Sandy-affected vehicles, with 14 other states accounting for the balance.
Connecticut ranks third on the list, with 8,000 vehicles, while Maryland is fourth with 5,500. Rounding out the top five is Virginia, with 4,500.
