Global Disasters/ Significant Events

U.S. clocked up 11 ‘billion-dollar’ extreme weather/climate disasters in 2012 [so far]

The events causing the Mega Disasters as listed by NCDC/NOAA:

• Southeast/Ohio Valley Tornadoes — March 2–3, 2012
• Texas Tornadoes — April 2–3, 2012
• Great Plains Tornadoes — April 13–14, 2012
• Midwest/Ohio Valley Severe Weather — April 28–May 1, 2012
• Southern Plains/Midwest/Northeast Severe Weather — May 25–30, 2012
• Rockies/Southwest Severe Weather — June 6–12, 2012
• Plains/East/Northeast Severe Weather (“Derecho”) — June 29–July 2, 2012
• Hurricane Isaac — August 26–31, 2012
• Western Wildfires — Summer–Fall, 2012
• Hurricane Sandy — October 29–31, 2012
• U.S. Drought/Heatwave — throughout 2012

Disaster cost estimates for 2012 will surpass 2011 (exceeding $60 billion, CPI-adjusted to 2012 dollars), NOAA reported, with Sandy and the yearlong drought being the big drivers, so far this year. The costs are still being calculated, and the final estimates would take many months.
