Hurricane Dorian, which pummeled the Bahamas, could cost the country $7 billion in insured and uninsured losses, according to an estimate from risk modeler Karen Clark & Co.

The preliminary estimate combines damage to commercial, residential and industrial properties as well as business-interruption expenses, the company said in a report Thursday. The figure doesn’t include vehicle losses or damage to infrastructure.
