Hurricane Helene Will Be A $100 Billion Storm
Hurricane Helene Could Be A $100 Billion Storm.
In 2022, Hurricane Ian did $113 billion of damage, ravaging Flordia’s west coast. From September 23 to September 30, it also hammered much of the Caribbean. Fort Myer’s Beach, south of Tampa, was nearly ruined. It eventually became the third most excessive Altintica Hurricane on record. Today, Hurricane Helene, which destroyed areas from Fort Myers north to the Panhandle and flatted Tallahassee and areas well north, came ashore as a violent Category 4 hurricane.
North Of Florida
Helene’s destruction of Tallahassee is the worst on record since records started to be kept in the 1850s. It had already begun to move into Georgia, where it still hit one of the nation’s large cities, Atlanta. It will eventually move into the Tennessee Valley.
USAToday states, “in anticipation of the storm’s sprawling impact, President Joe Biden approved emergency declarations ahead of Helene’s landfall for Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama to mobilize federal emergency management resources.”
The strength of the hurricane was caused by climate change. One scientist said the warm water made it 300 times more powerful than if global warming had not affected weather patterns.
Insurance Payouts
The property destruction will be unimaginable and will certainly top 100 billion. Not only will property directory and insurance payout surge, but it will also cause some people to leave these areas permanently.
