The AP (1/26, Parker) reports, "State officials have called Tropical Storm Isabel Maryland's worst natural disaster ever, a storm that cost the state and its local governments at least $275 million. Of that, all but about $110 million will likely be reimbursed by federal programs, state budget officials said Friday. The Department of Budget and Management doesn't have updated numbers from city governments other than Baltimore, so the figure will climb in the coming months, said Neil Bergsman, director of budget analysis for the department. The total doesn't tell the whole story, said Planning Secretary Audrey Scott. Maryland officials may never have an accurate number for how much residents paid privately to repair their homes and businesses, she said."

No, that's the one, but I guess it took them awhile to compile the total cost.
