Climate chaos is hitting wallets hard in 2024. The U.S. endured 15 billion-dollar weather disasters in just six months, according to a new report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 💰🔥
The agency revealed that 13 severe storms — packing tornadoes, hail, and hurricane-force winds — plus two massive winter storms caused widespread damage from coast to coast. With losses exceeding $1 billion each, these events highlight the growing economic toll of extreme weather. 🌍⚡
While NOAA hasn't released total cost estimates yet, experts warn such disasters strain infrastructure, spike insurance claims, and disrupt supply chains. 🚚💥 The pattern aligns with climate models predicting more frequent high-intensity weather events as global temperatures rise.
