Commenter Kishnevi compares living in a hurricane alley to living in the Midwest.  Just for comparison sake, the total cost of all tornadoes in the United States from 1950 - 1994: $19,198,781,343.00

Hurricane Andrew: $26,500,000,000.00
Hurricane Charley: $15,000,000,000.00
Hurricane Ivan:      $14,200,000,000.00

Need I go on?

I'm sure flooding in the Midwest would add to our disaster total but not even on the order of magnitude necessary to catch up to numbers like that.
