Florida and Hurricane Season 2022
11/20/2022 (Permalink)
Towards the end of year’s Atlantic hurricane season, Florida received the bulk of the action. As we’ve seen in the news, Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Nicole left their mark on Florida communities. SERVPRO Team Wall had the opportunity to serve affected communities in Florida, made possible by our Disaster Recovery Team. Making landfall in Florida within a relatively short time of each other, Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Nicole wreaked havoc on residential and commercial properties alike. Keep reading to learn more about where Florida’s 2022 hurricanes fit in the grand scheme of the Atlantic hurricane season.
Florida 2022 Hurricanes
Hurricane Ian, after making landfall in Southwest Florida in mid-September, caused significant damage, left many without power, and resulted in a devastating number of casualties. Just 43 days later, Florida was hit with yet another hurricane, Hurricane Nicole, once again caused power issues and sent first responders on search and rescue missions. This double-whammy may seem to be an anomaly, but something very similar happened in 2004. Hurricanes Charley and Jeanne, which both made landfall in Florida in 2004, affected nearly the same areas of the state as Ian and Nicole with the same amount of time in between the two storms. But what does this mean for property owners in Florida and across the country?
