Combined damage from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma could cost the U.S. economy as much as $290 billion, according to a new forecast.
Hurricane Harvey, which battered Houston with record amounts of rain and flooding last month, is estimated to be one of the costliest weather disasters in U.S. history, and Irma is expected to cause record-breaking damage as well, AccuWeather President Joel Myers said in a statement Sunday.
“We believe the damage estimate from Irma to be about $100 billion — among the costliest hurricanes of all time. This amounts to 0.5 of a percentage point of the GDP of $19 trillion,” Myers said. “We estimated that Hurricane Harvey is to be the costliest weather disaster in U.S. history, at $190 billion, or 1 full percentage point of the GDP.”
“Together, AccuWeather predicts, these two disasters amount to 1.5 of a percentage point of the GDP, which will about equal and therefore counter the natural growth of the economy for the period of mid-August through the end of the fourth quarter,” he added.
Myers said the economic costs include disruptions to businesses, increased rates of unemployment, damage to infrastructure, crop losses, property damage and higher fuel prices.
Gotten chilly around here, especially after sundown.
I hate how fast summer seems to transition into fall around here. One day the temperatures are in the mid-to-high 20s and sunset is after 9:00, then weeks later, the temperature rarely rises above 15° and it’s pitch black outside by 7:00.
I should move to Vancouver Island.
Sunny. Highs in low 80s. Nice wind.
Humid, rainy, warm, grey. Oh, and it is also a Monday.

Ditto.
Starting to get cold and it’s already dark in the morning when I go to work.
Very windy here in the Midlands in the UK - but Ireland are really getting the worse of it…

I’m in Devon and only really getting the back end of it but it’s VERY windy tonight. My heart goes out to everyone who got the full force of the storm. Not a good day for a lot of people.
It’s been around 30 degrees Celsius which is fine, but it’s come after a long stretch of pretty cool days, and all of my shorts and short sleeved shirts that are part of my school uniform no longer fit.
Not enough people read the EU.
Feels like fall. Cool. Crisp. Windy.
Everyone else got a red sun in the UK by the sound of things. Our skies went greyish green.
The wind is beginning to pick up. The storm is due around 2am so I will know if I have to go to work or not as I am supposed to be handing out leaflets at a train station. If it’s as bad as hurricane Bawbag the stations may be shut : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olKF0wCTx3g
It’s finally cooling off here and staying cool(ish) once the sun comes up. Finally.
Keep Circulating the Tapes.

I’m typically very adaptable to the seasons, so I, for one, welcome our new chilly overlords. To be specific, it’s currently in the low 50s (around 10 centigrade) and fairly windy.
Also of note, we’re seeing actual fall leaves, which were sorely amiss last year.
It’s snowing.

I know this is probably a joke, but I just want to say no to this comment.
