Hurricane Dorian has reached a Category 5 hurricane as of Sunday morning. The hurricane has altered its path. As a result, AccuWeather now estimates a total damage and economic loss will be about $8-10 billion. This estimation is based on an analysis incorporating independent methods to evaluate all direct and indirect impacts of the storm based on a variety of sources. The storm has hit the Bahamas and has "pounded the southeastern seaboard". The article I have attached states that due to the strength of Dorian, it has forced multiple airports to close until Tuesday. This has contributed to more than 1,200 flight cancellations in the U.S. As of 12:05am on Tuesday, 1,484 flights into and out of the U.S. have been cancelled and 3,964 have been delayed. Many large airports have closed. Orlando International Airport plans to close today, 242 departures have been cancelled coming out of Fort Lauderdale, and Freeport-Grand Bahama International Airport is under several feet of water.
The mass cancellation of flights in and out of the U.S. may impact the economy slightly. Many people attempt to make last attempt trips during Labor Day weekend, and many of those flights have been cancelled as a result of this storm. Many of the costs in the economic loss come as a result of losses to the travel and tourism industry, including cancelled vacations, cancelled flights, lost revenue to hotels, cruise lines diverted, and expenses in preparation for the storm.
