“Flooding events do not follow lines on a map. Where it can rain, it can flood.” Hurricanes aren’t just a threat to coastal communities, make sure to stay protected with flood insurance.
Hurricane Helene dumped trillions of gallons of water hundreds of miles inland, devastating communities nestled in mountains far from the threat of storm surge or sea level rise. But that distance can conceal a history of flooding in a region where water races into populated towns tucked into steep valleys. https://lnkd.in/g2xFTv9B

Florida’s Big Bend region on the northern Gulf Coast is bracing for yet another hurricane, the third in the last 13 months. https://lnkd.in/e_u3Cs9W Wind speeds for what could soon be Hurricane Helene are forecast to reach up to 115 mph, higher than Hurricane Debby, a Category 1 storm that made landfall in the area on Aug. 5, and approaching the winds of Hurricane Idalia, which struck the region in late August 2023. If there’s a silver lining for insurers, it’s that the corner of the state is less populated than other parts of Florida, limiting claims to what could be a manageable number. The property insurers with the most residential policies in the area include the state-created Citizens Property Insurance Corp. and American Bankers Insurance Co. of Florida. https://lnkd.in/e_u3Cs9W
