Of the 28 billion dollar disasters, there were 19 severe storm events, 2 tropical cyclones (Idalia in Florida and Typhoon Mawar in Guam), 4 floods, 1 winter weather event, 1 drought, and 1 wildfire event.
As for storms, the main factor is hail damage. Hail causes 50-80% of insured damage from severe thunderstorms.
I was very surprised to see that storms caused far more damage last year than hurricanes!
