Rainstorms that swept through Indiana, causing floods in much of the state and taking four lives, may not result in a high level of insurance claims, according to an agent‘s association head.

On July 11, President Bush declared 25 counties in central and northern Indiana disaster areas. The number was later increased to 34.

State officials said it was too early to give any damage estimates from the storm that dumped 5 to 6 inches of rain on the state from July 3 to 9. There was one estimate from the Indiana State Emergency Management Agency that 3,500 homes were affected by flooding. 

Roger Ronk, executive vice president of the Independent Insurance Agents of Indiana, said that while counties in the north and central parts of the state were hardest hit by flooding, the southern part of the state‘s farm land could soon suffer losses as flood waters move downstream.
