"With todays costs, this might be the worst.
If you convert 1906 costs to todays dollar values, might be a different story.
And this isn't over yet..."

do consider worst to be in terms of money or in terms of live lost ?

I would think most everyone is talking in terms of money right now. There is no accurate count of lives lost yet...May be weeks before that happens. Lots of single, alone people back in canyons in small places. With no family, no one reports that they are missing.
H#ll, just this week, they changed the lost person count for the 9-11-2001 mess in Twin Towers. This could take a long time for accurate figures.
No matter what, look for your home owners insurance to go up immediately.
