Federal aid to victims of the historic flooding that struck eastern Pennsylvania last year has topped the half-billion-dollar mark.
In an update on the aftermath of floods from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said earlier this month that payments to families, businesses and communities now total more than $550 million.
FEMA said the counties receiving the biggest payments are Luzerne at $39 million, Philadelphia at $34 million, Dauphin at $27 million and Bradford at $20 million and Lebanon at $18 million.
