No one will have a handle on that number for a while. For reference the 2013 Alberta floods costs $5B in property damage. Hurricane Katrina was $81B in property but over $150M when factoring in economic damage.
The economic damage of this is going to be quite significant let alone all of the property and infrastructure damage. It will make the Alberta floods look like the price of a Costco hotdog in relation.
