The National Flood Insurance Program has paid out $364 million to cover damage to homes and businesses from Hurricane Idalia, which made landfall Aug. 30 in the Keaton Beach area of Taylor County before crossing parts of rural North Florida, according to information released Tuesday by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The program received 5,210 Idalia claims, with 98 percent closed. Flood insurance typically is separate from other types of coverage.

The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation has not posted overall Idalia claims data on its website since Nov. 16.

We mourn the passing of a true music legend, Quincy Jones, who left us yesterday at the age of 91. Quincy’s remarkable career spanned seven decades, reshaping jazz, pop, film, and everything in between. He brought us iconic albums, unforgettable melodies, and a profound legacy of musical innovation. With 28 Grammy Awards and a Grammy Legend Award, he was one of the most honored and respected figures in music history. Quincy’s influence and talent bridged generations, and his contributions will live on. Rest in peace, Quincy Jones, and thank you for the music that changed our world. #rip #legend #quincyjones 🎶 This Friday on WMNF’s Live Music Showcase: Tune in for Lauris Vidal, part of the stellar lineup from Heatwave 2009!
