Of the nearly 180 hurricanes that have hit the U.S. since 1900, 28 of those storms would result in $10 billion or more in insured losses in 2012, according to Karen Clark & Company.
KCC recently issued a report titled “Historical Hurricanes that Would Cause $10 Billion or More of Insured Losses Today,” which identifies historical hurricanes that would likely cause $10 billion or more in insured losses were they to strike today given the greater number, size and cost of structures in their paths.
PC360 presents the top 10 costliest historical hurricanes according to the KCC report. To see the full list, download the report here.
