Days of impacts from the unnamed October storm that turned into a nor'easter led to billions in economic damage, according to AccuWeather experts.

New Jersey

AccuWeather has issued a preliminary estimate of $3 billion in economic damage and loss resulting from a recent tropical wind and rainstorm that affected the U.S. East Coast. The storm, which was not a named tropical system, brought several cycles of high tides, significant coastal flooding, and damaging winds, particularly impacting areas from the Jersey Coast to the Delmarva Peninsula.

The event was exacerbated by preceding king tides, leading to higher water levels and prolonged coastal inundation. AccuWeather highlighted that the lingering effects of saltwater can cause ongoing property damage even after floodwaters recede. The storm produced wind gusts exceeding 60 miles per hour in multiple states and up to 11 inches of rain in parts of the Carolinas. AccuWeather emphasized the importance of heeding warnings for such impactful storms, regardless of whether they are officially named.

Estimated $3 billion in damage and loss from East Coast storm

AccuWeather Vice President of Forecasting Operations, Dan Dupont, joins us right now with a look at the storm's impact and, Dan, what comes next? Damian, the storm has moved out of the way here, finally getting a break. It was a very long period of time of coastal flooding, in fact, about four or five high tide cycles with significant coastal inundation. And for that reason, along with some flooding rainfall and just really some significant property damage along the East Coast, the U.S. AccuWeather has released our exclusive AccuWeather Economic Damage and Loss Estimate for this tropical wind and rainstorm. Three billion dollars is our preliminary estimate here, so certainly an impactful disaster and one that we've been forecasting for the last week or so here, really driving home the impacts. Although it was not a named tropical system, one that AccuWeather called a tropical wind and rainstorm to drive home the impacts of coastal flooding and strong damaging winds in some spots over the last couple of days. That's right, Dan. And we were talking about, you were talking about the tides that we were dealing with as well, but we also had a king tide earlier this week before the storm even started to really have the impacts, and that made the impacts almost worse as the storm worked its way across the region. It did. We had the king tides in these, that were last week, so that set the stage really with higher water levels, places along the Jersey Coast down to the parts of the Delmarva picked up or experienced several feet of coastal inundation that lingered for 48 hours or more in some places, and that saltwater can, even though saltwater can retreat, the lingering salt left over there can cause significant trouble in terms of the damage to homes and properties well after the floodwaters have receded. So for that reason, sort of this longer term impacts that this economic impact takes into account as well. We have here showing some of the other billion dollar disasters that AccuWeather has released exclusive estimates for this year. We had obviously early in the year the significant devastating wildfires in California. You can get a sense sort of at the scale of these different disasters with a few billion here with this latest tropical wind and rain storm to 10 billion or so with the tornado outbreak earlier this spring, and some of the higher amounts, the severe storms and flooding in April, and then the most costly disaster so far this year, those, the really again, the devastating Los Angeles County wildfires in January. And Dan, this kind of reemphasizes what we here at AccuWeather really try to express to our viewers and to all of the folks who tune in, because even though this wasn't a named storm, that in your mind, it may mean that, hey, you may not necessarily need to have to pay attention or heed the warnings or local advisories for the storm because it doesn't have a name. But here at AccuWeather, we do something different. We do. We have a tropical impact scale for hurricanes, Damien, and that's really in the exclusive scale really helps to communicate the full risk associated with these types of storms. In the case of this tropical wind and rain storm, there were wind gusts over 60 miles an hour in many different states, a couple of gusts near 70 miles per hour in parts of the northeast, 11 or near 11 inches of rain in parts of the Carolinas. We had mentioned, as we mentioned, the several feet of coastal inundation, storm surge that really went into many areas for several days. And that's why we rated this a one when there is no rating from the Saffir-Simpson scale for hurricanes. So, again, another differentiator here of AccuWeather. All right, AccuWeather Senior Director of Forecast Operations Dan Dupont, thank you so much for joining us and we'll check in with you here coming up. You're welcome.
