with this map, it looks like it hurts a lot more.

$5 billion? how is this possible? didn’t all the big storms last year take out all the wimpy buildings and clear out all the loose crap? did people just buy more crap and leave it out? did they rebuild the same crappy buildings? or when a storm blows a tarp off your roof, does that count as a whole roof?

unpossible! i can’t believe this.
