(KERO) — A new report shows the financial toll of severe weather in the United States.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says that 18 extreme weather events cost a total of $165 billion. The report shows those weather events caused at least 474 deaths.
The most expensive weather event was Hurricane Ian. Ian caused an estimated $113 billion in damage. The Midwestern and Western Drought was responsible for more than $22 billion in damage.
Scientists say climate change is making extreme weather events even more powerful.
