Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Global catastrophe recap : February 2017

Publication: [Londres] : AON Benfield, 2017Physical description: 11 p. Notes: Sumario: No fewer than five outbreaks of severe weather impacted portions of the United States during February. The most prolific event occurred during the end of February and into the first days of March as nearly 60 confirmed tornadoes touched down in the Midwest, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic. One of the tornadoes was the year¿s first EF4 with 180 mph (290 kph) winds. Three others were rated EF3. Among the hardest-hit states were Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee as up to softball-sized hail and damaging straight-line winds also caused substantial impacts to homes, businesses, vehicles, and other structures. Total economic and insured losses from the singular event were minimally estimated well into the hundreds of millions of dollars (USD); very likely to be even higher.
