NEW YORK (AP)  Hurricane Katrina caused at least $125 billion in economic damage and could cost the insurance industry up to $60 billion in claims, a leading risk assessment firm said in updated estimates Friday.

The total damage from Katrina is estimated at $108 billion (2005 U.S. dollars).lthough Hurricane Katrina made landfall well to the west, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle were both affected by tropical-storm force winds and a storm surge varying from 12 to 16 feet (3.7â4.9 m) around Mobile Bay, with higher waves on top.
