Every job my company had near the gulf coast shut down for at least a week. There are roughly 5000 people where I work. Multiply that by 10 just for our company alone and yes it has an impact. I would say that at least a third of the U.S. population lives within 70 miles of the gulf of Mexico coast. Not to mention up the east coast of Florida. Yes it will have an impact.

Well when we are talking trillions of dollars, even a fraction of that is a huge impact. But that doesn't make that fraction somehow bigger, and defintely not 45% of the forecasted growth.

Hurricanes Irma, Harvey will have a significant negative impact on third-quarter GDP growth

Moody's estimates the combined cost of both storms, including property damage and lost output, at $150 billion to $200 billion.
