18 extreme weather events caused $165 billion in damage last year, NOAA says...

[Fred Bloggs]

Costly weather disasters kept raining down on America last year, pounding the nation with 18 climate extremes that caused at least $1 billion in damage each, totaling more than $165 billion, federal climate scientists calculated Tuesday.

Even though 2022 wasn\'t near record hot for the United States, it was the third wildest year nationally both in number of extremes that cost $1 billion and overall damage from those weather catastrophes, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said in a report issued at the American Meteorological Society\'s conference.

U.S. can pretty much plan on spending $150B annually, and climbing, remediating extreme weather damage from here on out.

NOAA has quite a bit of expertise in computing very reliable estimates of the cost of extreme weather events, and has been doing this for quite some time.

They have the National Centers for Environmental Information dedicated to this specific purpose among others.

Probably another government function described as \"waste\" by all the know-nothings in the American public, the GOP, and the equally useless \"commentator\" crowd they listen to all the time.

down.

Makes you wonder wth was going in the 1920s for them have half million climate related deaths... that must be famine, sometimes manmade as in Ukraine, being misreported as climatic origin.
There was no warning of hurricanes and such. About 8000 died in
Galveston in 1900, taken by surprise. Maybe 12K total.

People also had a lot of bad dwellings, no heat in an emergency and
little insulation. No warm cars to drive to motels. No double-pane
windows or super-insulated parkas.

No antibiotics either.

We are *so* much better off now.

Doesn\'t seem so in California. What they\'re seeing now with this extreme weather is that it intensifies too rapidly to give authorities adequate warning. Emergency services tend not too mobilize too much on the basis of a \"possibility.\"

Unbelievably California has program so people who lost food due to power outage can file a claim with the state to cover the loss.

Hey Bozo, if we are \"throwing\" anything away it is rational evaluation of natural climate disasters and any human involvement.

Right- once you start looking at that human involvement thing, everything goes irrational by definition.

NOAA has quite a bit of expertise in computing very reliable estimates of the cost of extreme weather events, and has been doing this for quite some time.

They have the National Centers for Environmental Information dedicated to this specific purpose among others.

Probably another government function described as \"waste\" by all the know-nothings in the American public, the GOP, and the equally useless \"commentator\" crowd they listen to all the time.




Better than 2005. Things are improving.

The real good news is that deaths from climate extremes are way, way
down.

Makes you wonder wth was going in the 1920s for them have half million climate related deaths... that must be famine, sometimes manmade as in Ukraine, being misreported as climatic origin.

U.S. can pretty much plan on spending $150B annually, and climbing, remediating extreme weather damage from here on out.

There was no warning of hurricanes and such. About 8000 died in
Galveston in 1900, taken by surprise. Maybe 12K total.

People also had a lot of bad dwellings, no heat in an emergency and
little insulation. No warm cars to drive to motels. No double-pane
windows or super-insulated parkas.

No antibiotics either.

We are *so* much better off now.

Doesn\'t seem so in California. What they\'re seeing now with this extreme weather is that it intensifies too rapidly to give authorities adequate warning. Emergency services tend not too mobilize too much on the basis of a \"possibility.\"

In mid-US, one can see giant wide weather fronts approaching, and even
get warnings against tornadoes. In the Gulf ststes, hurricanes are
obvious and ponderous. Off the west coast, winter storms come in
narrow, snakey, twisty, not very predictable chunks. A 24-hour
forecast is generally wrong. Last week or so, San Francisco had modest
rainfall and winds but places just north and south really got whacked.

But really, hurricanes are far more destructive and deadly than a few
inches of rain and some 50 mph gusts.

Sorta OT, but look at Youtube for drone Pacifica

Our favorite fish-and-chips place will fall into the ocean eventually.
Camelot, an ersatz British bar, but they have Harp and Bod on tap and
oysters and chips. Draft Boddington\'s is nothing like the canned
stuff.

Unbelievably California has program so people who lost food due to power outage can file a claim with the state to cover the loss.

What if they ate it?
