Vivian was one of a series of severe European windstorms in 1990. It struck large parts of Europe from 25 to 27 February 1990 and cost 64 people their lives. A few days later it was followed by windstorm Wiebke. After Hurricane Andrew in 1992 (26.5 B USD), Cyclone Daria in January 1990 and Windstorm Lothar in 1999, and the Great Storm of 1987 (4.3 B USD) Vivian/Wiebke was one of the most expensive Atlantic storms in history, costing 4 B USD of insurance payments. In his report Winter storms in Europe - History from 1703 to 2012, Aon Benfield assessed the cost of insurance payouts for storm damage in Germany as 1.5 billion euros.
