Data analysis firm CoreLogic is projecting the storm, which hammered Georgia and South Carolina as well as Florida, will result in $4 billion to $6 billion in insured property losses in all states.
The ratings firm Moody’s issued a statement Monday saying the long-term impacts of the storm on Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, are expected to be “minimal.”
Hurricane Matthew hit the state a little more than a month after Hurricane Hermine swept through North Florida.
As of Oct. 7, 18,222 claims had been filed as a result of Hermine, of which 12,877 were residential. Insurance companies had made payments on 6,776 claims, with 5,717 closed without any payment being made, according to the state Office of Insurance Regulation. The rest remain open.
