I see the 1998 ice storm made the list. My city was without power for a month following that...too bad I missed it.

Interestin read, indeed, but somehow I fail to believe that within 25 years there have been no disastrous blizzards in most states of the Northeast, or ice storms for that matter.

Well there have been plenty, I doubt any incident has caused $1 billion dollars in damages. Well they can be costly to clean up, I doubt any severe damage to many homes occured.

Not all of them cost over $1bn...I'm sure there were a lot more than just one or two

Interesting to see most of the weather delays seem to be in the south, especially Florida with its hurricanes and Texas with its variety of storms (tornado's, weather,...)
