I wish that ther was such loss data available. unfortunately, it is not. On our pubs page you can see some of our efforts to disentangle some of this (e.g., inland flooding from tropical systems) but the data does not allow much. -1-Mark

What a world we live in! Imagine even a decade ago, if one were trying to do even some of the analyses allowed by the ICAT Damage Estimator. One would probably have a bunch of maps, some with hand-drawn hurricane tracks. What a mess! One thing I'd really like to get. (I think I've mentioned this before. ;-) ) I'd really like to get some estimates for hurricane damages from storm surge versus wind versus inland flooding. I seem to be able to find estimates for deaths, but not for economic damages. If you know where I could find some estimates for economic damages, I'd love to hear it. Best wishes, Mark Hi Roger,
