00:00America's 2026 weather disasters are rewriting the country's economic playbook,
00:05and the bill is being passed straight to ordinary households.
00:09Insurance industry analysts now project total U.S. severe weather damage costs for 2026 could top $40 billion.
00:18Fueled by record tornado outbreaks, extreme hail, and an active early storm season,
00:23hail damage alone is on pace to top $10 billion.
00:27Driven by repeated baseball-size hail events from Texas to Alabama.
00:31Homeowners across the South and Midwest are already seeing premium hikes of 15 to 35 percent.
00:37Some insurers have stopped writing new policies in tornado-prone counties altogether.
00:42And it's not just home insurance.
00:45Auto premiums are climbing as hail claims surge.
00:48And grocery prices are rising as crop losses mount across the plains.
00:52Economists warn that, without major changes, climate-fueled,
00:56severe weather could quietly become the single biggest hidden tax on American households over the next decade.
01:03The storms hit fast.
01:05The bill arrives quietly.
01:07And every American is going to feel it.
01:09I don't even think it's hard.
01:09We're addressing the대
