on june 24, 2013 although total damage caused by the flooding remained unknown, alberta premier alison redford, predicted it would surpass the $700 million caused by the slave lake fire, with much of the cost likely to be uninsurable. in a report issued on june 24, 2013, tom mackinnon, bmo capital markets insurance analyst, suggested an early estimate of between $3 billion and $5 billion of total damages to "homes, businesses, vehicles and other private property." that would be "20 to 30 times" the amount of damage caused by southern alberta's 2005 major flood, and the second costliest natural disaster in canadian history. the province of alberta estimated in august that the cost of repairing the damage would exceed $5 billion. the insurance bureau of canada stated in september that insurable losses had exceeded $1.7 billion, making it the costliest disaster in canadian history in terms of insured damages (and without accounting for inflation), surpassing the $1.6 billion cost of the north american ice storm of 1998. the bureau called the cost "staggering", and said the figure continued to rise.
