The total losses of the United States in general over the past year due to climate disasters, including droughts and floods, are about 55 billion USD.

According to scientists, the number of people killed by natural disasters in the United States last year was caused by the storms, shifting trajectories and moving from the steppes in the state of Kanzas, Oklahoma and Texas toward East, a densely populated place like Missouri and Alabama, is affected by La Nina.
