Uncannily, in a report on "Extreme Weather and Grid Disruptions" that
was issued in May and updated on Aug. 30, Evan Mills of Lawrence
Berkeley Laboratory cited
risk manager estimates that a severe Northeast U.S hurricane could result in total costs of $76.4 billion,
uninsured costs of $45.1 billion, and 85 fatalities. Those projections
are right in line with current estimates of the total costs and
fatalities from the perfect storm dubbed "frankenstorm," the combined
hurricane and Nor'easter that devastated cities and communities in the
U.S.Northeast at the end of October.
