The Galvaston storm was terrible,  and i agree that the Media now changes a lot about how we see catastrophes.   But the impact of Sandy was $60 billion (i think that’s the figure, but who really knows?) because so many people live on the coasts.  This was far more than the costs of storms from 50 yrs ago.   The impact of  $60 billion damage to the economy every couple of years is going to be a lot to deal with.
