Disasters likely barely dent U.S. economy
Tornadoes and floods have hammered the South and Midwest, flooding farmlands and suspending factory work while disrupting energy. Yet economists say the national impact will be small, possibly cutting growth by about one tenth of a percentage point in Q2, with more disasters potential ahead. Joplin, Missouri damage is limited as the city accounts for about 2 percent of the state's output.
