Winter Storm Uri Losses in Texas Expected in $10B – $20B Range March 1, 2021 It’s likely that insured losses in Texas from Winter Storm Uri, which overwhelmed the state in mid-February, will climb into the $10 billion to $20 billion range, according to catastrophe modelers and insurance industry market analysts. Losses from Uri may be “somewhat comparable to those from Hurricane Harvey, which was a Category 4 hurricane that made landfall on Texas and Louisiana in August 2017,” according to S&P Global ratings. The market intelligence organization said in a Feb. 26 media release, however, that it was still “too early to accurately quantify the insured losses given the complexity of the event.”
