Hurricane Ian

Insurers were required to begin submitting claims data Friday and will continue submitting the information each day through Oct. 7.

Rescuers have evacuated stunned survivors cut off by Hurricane Ian on Florida’s largest barrier island, and the state’s death toll has risen sharply amid recovery efforts.

FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell met with Gov. Ron DeSantis to go over the federal response to Hurricane Ian. "We know that this is going to be a very complicated and complex recovery,” she says.

Due to the rising Myakka River, I-75 is shut down in both directions from mile marker 179 (North Port / Toledo Blade Blvd) to mile marker 191 (Englewood / Jacaranda Blvd).

A financial ratings agency says an analysis indicates insured losses from Hurricane Ian could range from $25 billion to $40 billion, putting additional pressure on Florida’s troubled property-insurance market.
