Back-to-Back Hurricanes Devastate the South, Could Cost $85 Billion to Rebuild | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Damage is still being tallied from the back to back hurricanes in the southern United States. The death toll from Hurricane Helene is now at 230, many in North Carolina. The death toll from Hurricane Milton is at 17. And amid the loss of life is also the cost to rebuild. Florida officials say debris removal could take up to 1 year including around the clock removals from 90 days. Moody's analytics estimates economic costs from the storm will range from $50 billion to $85 billion. Director of Corporate Communications for the Insurance Information Institute, Mark Friedlander, joins to share any initial estimates of the total monetary damage of these back to back hurricanes. Friedlander discusses where that leaves these insurers and whether that ultimately impacts homeowners. He explains what is being done by Governor DeSantis and other lawmakers to help homeowners. Friedlander tells us whether he expects private insurers to re-enter the state and provide options for homeowners. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
