A second fan then sprinted toward the group, knocking down Acuña, and that fan was tackled as one of the security people chased him down.Acuña wasn’t injured and remained in the game.“I was a little scared at first,” Acuña said through an interpreter. “I think the fans were out there and asking for pictures.

Experts say the state’s insurance industry can absorb potential losses for now, but an Idalia hit on a highly populated area could affect those companies’ future outlooks.Conditions could change ahead of Wednesday, including the strength and path of the storm.“This would be a very different event if it was going right into Tampa versus much less populated areas,” said Matthew Carletti, an analyst at JMP Securities. “There should be much less loss where it’s headed now, but that could change. Tampa is on the edge of the cone, but (the storm) could still end up there, and that will have ...
