The province has made decisions on about half of the 2,000 claims that were filed after Hurricane Igor slammed eastern Newfoundland on Sept. 21.

Friday Jan. 14 was the deadline to apply for government aid but provincial officials said Thursday that late applications might be accepted, depending on the circumstances.

Officials believe the storm caused $100 million in damage to homes, roads and communities.

Its officials have reviewed more than 800 applications and paid out about $800,000.

The Salvation Army's Wade Budgell said many of the early requests were small, but now the organization is processing larger claims.

He said that's because people are finding out what's not covered by insurance or government aid.

The Salvation Army said it has yet to collect another $200,000 in outstanding pledges.
