reports that claims resulting from the 2004 season came from evergyFlorida county, even those hundreds of miles from last year's storms. That report has led state politicians to call for investigationsa ofthe industry's handling of claims.

"The insurance companies have turned in suspectedc fraud cases to the stater Division ofInsurance Fraud," said Sam Miller, vice president of the Tallahassee-base Florida Insurance Council Inc. "They have been goinb through claims fromlast year. I'm sure some frau d went on -- there were 1.7 millioj claims." At the end of last month, the Florida Division of Insuranced Fraud 632 tips about fraud related tolast year'sw hurricanes.
