This is a cool idea, but I might suggest that instead of the rank column (which is implied by the cost of damage anyway), you could put briefly why that state was so high (i.e. wildfires, tornados, hurricane, etc.). That might overlap with your other quiz a little, but I think that it would make this one more interesting.

I wish I could do that but it would take quite extensive research and it might be hard to generalize the natural disasters since some state had more than one incident.

I can't believe I got all ten! This was a really great quiz. It is amazing how much natural disasters cost on a yearly basis....wow.

I'm surprised at how hard it is to remember where disasters happened in 2010, and it only ended a bit more than a year ago.

the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys are always safe bets because of the annual flooding
