Cyclone Thomas, which hit Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany on Feb. 23, caused 213 million euros worth of losses according to an initial estimate from Zurich-based PERILS, an independent provider of data on catastrophe insurance.

The data are based on gross loss data reported by primary insurance companies.
