The U.S. has sustained seventy weather-related disasters during the 1980-2006 period in which overall damages and costs reached or exceeded $1 billion at the time of the event. This report does not include any events that had unadjusted damages/losses less than $1 billion dollars and then subsequently may have reached $1 billion after applying the (Gross National Product) GNP inflation/wealth index. Sixty-one of these disasters occurred since 1988 with total unadjusted damages/costs of approximately $430 billion. Seven events occurred in 1998 alone--the most for any year in the summary period, though other years have recorded higher damage totals. Events are listed beginning with the most recent.
