The early April weather catastrophe that clouted 10 states with heavy snow, high winds and other severe conditions will cost insurers an estimated $1.2 billion for property-loss claims Insurance Services Office Inc. said.

ISO in Jersey City, N.J. said the figure is based on preliminary estimates from its Property Claim Services unit. 

According to PCS, insurers will receive more than 386,000 claims from auto, residential and commercial policyholders who were affected by ice, snow, freezing rain, wind, hail, tornadoes and flooding from April 4-8. 

Hardest hit was Texas, sustaining $885 million in insured property losses from an estimated 285,000 claims. Wind gusts exceeding 80 miles an hour and baseball-sized hail shelled several Texas counties along the path of the thunderstorm, PCS said.
