American lives + property + infrastructure are at stake. In 2024, 27 individual weather + climate disasters w/ at least $1 billion in damages caused at least 568 direct or indirect fatalities. I fear this was just a taste...

Stunned but not surprised to read on the "Billion-Dollar Weather + Climate Disasters" page the following:

"In alignment with evolving priorities, statutory mandates, and staffing changes, NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) will no longer be updating the Billion Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters product.
