“Had the storm hit the Tampa, St. Petersburg area we’d be looking at a totally different situation,” said Michael Barry with the Insurance Information Insitute.Barry said because the storm hit relatively low-population areas, estimated costs to insurers were significantly less than other recent storms, with early insured damage estimates putting the cost around $9 billion.

Jeff Brandes with the Florida Policy Project worked for years on the property insurance crisis as a state senator.Brandes argued reforms passed by lawmakers in a round of special sessions last year aimed at reducing litigation costs in the property insurance market helped position the industry to weather a storm like Idalia.
