The eastern end of Long Island suffered the highest insured losses in the U.S. from late August's Hurricane Irene, followed closely by a coastal county in North Carolina, Verisk Analytics reports.
The financial data company said Suffolk County, the New York area that includes the Hamptons region, topped the list of 191 hurricane-affected counties nationwide with more than $200 million in insured property damage.
Just behind Suffolk County and also with more than $200 million in damage was Dare County, North Carolina, which includes Outer Banks communities like Nags Head and Kitty Hawk.
