Facing a hurricane means bracing for multiple threats🌀 Here are the most common types of hurricane damage: ⭐️ Wind Damage: Relentless winds tear through structures, causing roofs to fly off, windows to shatter, and trees to topple, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. ⭐️ Flooding: Torrential rains lead to widespread flooding, submerging roads, homes, and entire communities, with water levels rising rapidly and posing a significant danger to life and property. ⭐️ Storm Surge: The powerful force of storm surges brings a surge of seawater inland, inundating coastal areas and causing catastrophic flooding that can reach far inland, with devastating consequences for those in its path. ⭐️ Tornado Damage: Amidst the chaos, tornadoes can emerge, adding another layer of destruction as they rip through neighborhoods, demolishing everything in their path with ferocious winds and deadly force. . . . #lawfirm #lawyer #law #attorney #legaladvice #lawyers #personalinjury #attorneysatlaw #attorneys #legalservices #personalinjurylawyer #accidentattorney #propertydamage #propertyinsurance #fortlauderdaleflorida #fortlauderdalelawyer #fortlauderdalelawfirm #floridalaw #floridalawyer #floridaattorney #caraccident #propertydamagerattorney #propertydamagelawyer #homeownersinsurance #flooddamage #hurricanedamage #slipandfallaccident #floridahomeowners #baldinjurylawyers #schillingandsilvers

Talk about a busy couple of weeks! Now that Hurricane Helene has left behind damage in Florida, they are getting ready for another round of weather. Floridians are preparing for what could be Hurricane Milton. While the affects of the storm could vary from the last storm devastation is once again a possibility. When it comes to hurricanes, three major concerns are: 1. Flooding: Heavy rains and storm surges can lead to severe flooding, which can cause extensive property damage and create dangerous conditions. 💧   2. High Winds: The powerful winds associated with hurricanes can down trees, power lines, and damage buildings, posing serious risks to both people and infrastructure. 🌬️   3. Power Outages: Extended power outages are common during hurricanes, disrupting communications, refrigeration, and other essential services, making it difficult for families to function normally. ⚡  Understanding these risks can help you better prepare for hurricane season.

The Ocean Blue Team holds Florida beaches, volunteers, and wildlife in our hearts and highest thoughts today. Milton’s impacts have arrived: Storm surge has started on the Florida Gulf Coast as the hurricane’s powerful winds drive ocean water onto normally dry land. Milton has also spawned several tornadoes, and torrential rain and thunderstorms are lashing the coast as the most dangerous parts of the storm move closer. • Where will Milton hit? Milton will make landfall on Florida’s Gulf Coast overnight as a major hurricane, and could become one of the most destructive storms on record there. Exactly where it comes ashore could shift before landfall and alter where the most life-threatening storm surge occurs in the Tampa area and along Florida’s Gulf Coast. You can track Milton’s path with CNN’s storm tracker. • Milton growing in size: Hurricane Milton’s wind field has more than doubled in size since yesterday and it is expected to expand more. This means its disastrous impacts will be felt over a much larger area. Tropical-storm force winds are expected to cover the entire width of the Florida peninsula.

👉 American Integrity’s CAT Response Team has been mobilized and stands ready to quickly respond to customers impacted by Hurricane Helene. Please see the forecast below. This storm is rapidly intensifying and expected to make landfall later today, and be aware that tornado activity is possible even in areas not in the path of the storm. Stay safe and heed the warnings of your local emergency management officials. You're looking at a strengthening Hurricane Helene with maximum sustained wind speeds of 100 mph. The NHC currently expects Helene to continue rapidly intensifying to a high-end Category 3 hurricane by Thursday afternoon with winds of 115 mph. There is also still time for this storm to speed up before making landfall in Florida's Big Bend region late tonight, meaning high winds will be felt even farther inland. After landfall, the storm will gradually turn northwest and slow down over the Tennessee Valley by the weekend, bringing widespread flooding across much of the Southeastern U.S. and the Southern Appalachians. TAMPA BAY IMPACTS: In addition to tropical storm-force winds, we will also be dealing with tornadoes embedded within the storm’s bands, as well as storm surge as high winds push water along the coast today through Thursday evening. Expect fast moving bands of gusty winds and tropical downpours across Tampa Bay all day, along with a Tornado Watch until 8pm tonight.
