CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Storms have battered West Virginia to the tune of more than $370 million this year.

That figure is based on regulatory filings and government estimates, according to the Charleston news outlets.

Most of the costs - approximately $340 million - are the result of a fierce and destructive wind storm called a derecho, which KO'd power across the state for several days in late June.

Then in late October Superstorm Sandy left up to 2 feet of snow across the eastern portion of the state. Sandy's costs already top $30 million, based on preliminary figures.

Appalachian Power has said its costs were $62 million, while FirstEnergy puts its costs at $110 million.

Customers ultimately will be asked to pick up some of those costs.
