Catastrophe modeler AIR Worldwide says onshore insured losses from Hurricane Isaac could reach $2 billion.
The storm is now well-inland and has been downgraded to a tropical depression with winds of 35 mph as its rain begins to sop Arkansas and Missouri before the storm turns east.
AIR says the estimate of between $700 million and $2 billion includes insured losses from damage to residential, auto, commercial and industrial properties and contents, as well as additional living expenses and business interruption-related losses. It also takes into account demand surge.
