Hurricane Ike Total Loss of Beach Home

Our weekend beach home was totally destroyed by hurricane Ike. The insurance paid more than we paid for it when we bought the house in 2001. Will we pay income tax on the difference?

The insurance on the contents paid after deducting depreciation. Can we dedcut this difference?
