Severe weather events are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change, and the economic toll on natural disasters is also on the rise. Over the ten years between 2016 and 2025, there were 202 major weather disasters that each resulted in at least $1 billion in destruction, causing $1.5 trillion in damage in the United States. National Weather Service records show that natural weather-related disasters have caused over $14.7 billion in crop losses over the last decade. Using data from the NWS Weather Related Fatality and Injury Statistics program, Climate Crisis 247 identified the states with the most severe weather losses.
