More Than $2.7 Billion in Losses Estimated After Hurricane Beryl

Damages from Hurricane Beryl across the United States could be as high as $2.7 billion, according to a July 11 report by catastrophe modeling company Karen Clark and Company’s (KCC).

While the storm was only a Category 1 when it made landfall in Matagorda County, Texas, it delivered devastating—and fatal—flooding and tornadoes to southeast Texas and several other states as it turned northeast toward Canada.

At least seven have died in Texas, one in Louisiana, and another in Vermont.

Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and New York, were also affected.

KCC’s estimate takes into account “privately insured damage to residential, commercial, and industrial properties and automobiles, as well as business interruption.” It does not include boats, offshore properties, or National Flood Insurance Program losses.
