Hurricanes Helene and Milton likely to be $50 billion disasters

KALISPELL, Montana: Hurricanes Helene and Milton are expected to cause damages exceeding US$50 billion each, joining the ranks of the costliest storms in U.S. history, such as Katrina, Sandy, and Harvey, according to government and private experts.

The financial toll continues to rise, and experts warn that most of the damage-especially in Helene's case-is uninsured, deepening the financial burden on victims.
