Are Hurricane losses added to the standard deduction?

I got a new roof on my house thanks to Hurricane Sally.  The deductible was about $7000 for a net out-of-pocket.  I do not have enough other costs to itemize so TT assigns the standard deduction.  But TT then adds the loss from a Qualified Disaster on top of that resulting line 12 of Form 1040 including the standard deduction plus the loss.  Is this correct?  Seems weird.
