Faster doesn't always mean more dangerous! In 2017, Hurricane Harvey slowed to only 5 mph once it moved inland. This resulted in catastrophic flooding of more than 40 inches of rain in several areas over four days. Each landfall and movement inland slowed its intensity and allowed for this flooding to accumulate, which ultimately resulted in $125 billion in damage.  Conversely, in 2004, Hurricane Charley moved with a peak intensity of 150 mph. Though this hurricane still resulted in $16.9 billion in damage, it was much less severe than Harvey.     #HurricaneDamage #DisasterRestoration #RainbowRestoration #OnePropertyAtaTime

Below is a report highlighting survey data that shows an alarming number of U.S. adults have no means of detecting carbon monoxide in their homes and believe they are protected when they are in public places, despite a limited and inconsistent patchwork of requirements across localities. The report shows that one-third (36%) of U.S. adults have no means of detecting CO leaks in their homes, and that nearly half (46%) of travelers do not worry about CO exposure when staying in hotels and rental properties because they assume CO alarms are installed. Further, even though portable generators are responsible for 81% of CO deaths, the survey found that 62% do not feel that they or their household are at risk of CO exposure or poisoning from their generator, and another 23% of generator owners did not realize that these appliances are a potential source of CO.

Loss projections for Hurricane #Helene based on our Automated Event Response service (AER) have been fluctuating over the past 3 days, even though the expected landfall location has not changed significantly – remarkably, it has essentially stayed within roughly 60-mile long part of the Big bend coastline. However, while catastrophic storm surge can be expected, larger part of the wind-related loss is currently projected for Georgia, not Florida – and it will depend on how far inland and at what intensity will the storm penetrate the mainland, and if large population centers such as Atlanta will be in path of the tropical storm-force winds, as suggested by earlier forecasts.
