The destruction from two tornadoes that struck four counties in central Florida has been classified as a catastrophe by the Insurance Services Office's claim service division.
Gary Kerney, assistant vice president of Property Claims Services, a division of Jersey City, N.J. based ISO, said the central Florida tornadoes have been rated a catastrophe under the unit's guidelines.
According to an e-mail from an ISO spokeswoman, Mr. Kerney is currently on the ground in Deland, Fla., one of the areas hit. He said it is still too early to put a dollar amount on the destruction. Figures are in their initial stages and it will be several days before any preliminary numbers are available.
