A Category 5 hurricane could lead to more than $200 billion in damage, Moody's Analytics said in a report released before the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

The new rule will require FEMA to consider climate change's impact on future flood patterns in determining how and sometimes if to build back after flooding. 

Extreme weather could aggravate growing property insurance pressures on governments.

Nicholas is the Atlantic’s 14th storm in 2021. Half of the storms so far have hit the U.S., and Ida was the season’s worst, crashing into the Louisiana coastline before devastating New York with rain and floods that killed more than 40 people. On Monday, AIR Worldwide updated its projected losses from Ida, saying the storm probably caused $20 billion to $30 billion in insured losses. Earlier estimates were around $18 billion.
