at least $25,000,000,000.


100,000 homes, say an average of $250,000 of damage and losses each.

now add in the commercial losses to property and stock.

then add in the damage to publicly owned stuff (roads, bridges, etc).

and you can easily see $80,000,000,000 to $120,000,000,000 of damages.


say each home damaged needs 40 sheets of drywall to replace damaged drywall. that's 4,000,000 sheets of drywall. better start that drywall plant running 24/7 today. same for everything else that was damaged. 100,000 new appliance sets. acres and acres of flooring.



and then you have to find someone to do the work if you cannot do it yourself. and you need a place to live until the house is fixed.
