If They Hit Today, the Dozen Costliest (to Insurers) Hurricanes in U.S. History Insured Losses,2012 Dollars, $ Billions Storms that hit long ago had less property and businesses to damage, so simply adjusting their actual claims for inflation doesn’t capture their destructive power.Karen Clark’s analysis aims to overcome that.
