Monetary estimates of damage in the state from last weekend's storms have been revised. State Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine has pushed the number of insured losses to now 125-million dollars. Oxendine Thursday took a helicopter tour of damage in Bibb, Clayton, and Douglas counties. He called the damage the worst he's seen in his 14 years on the job. 15 tornadoes touched-down in areas of central and northern Georgia on Mother's Day, with another few in the southern portion of the state. Two people died from the storms. There are 13 affected state disaster areas.
