Despite the high winds recorded from Superstorm Sandy, actual wind damage from the storm was “surprisingly minor,” a report from reinsurance broker Willis Re says.
Willis Re, a subsidiary of Willis Group Holdings, issued its Hurricane Damage Survey report last week saying the storm had estimated sustained winds of 80 mph when it made landfall near Atlantic City, N.J., at 8 p.m. on Oct. 29.
The storm “became complex when interacting with another weather system to the west, creating a large superstorm.”
