Very interesting reading, indeed! That #1 is rough and I believe we will still be paying for it when my grandchildren are ready for retirement.

Good list but it's debatable, Katrina cost were at least $125 billion. If they were going for man made or caused disasters I would pretty much agree with them. There's no debate on the #1 pick though.
