We're here to help 24/7 for storm cleanup and restoration.

Although Hurricane Season is in its final weeks, you can't rule them out just yet. Hurricane Ian made landfall in late September/early October, and just this past week, Tropical Storm Nicole made its way into Florida and up the east coast. Hurricanes can be life-threatening as well as cause serious property damage from high winds, flooding, storm surge, landslides, and power outages. Preparation is paramount when protecting your property against potential damage from hurricanes. Prepare an emergency kit, plan an evacuation route, and take inventory of your property.

Here are some facts you may not be aware of regarding hurricanes:

• 2004's Hurricane Ivan produced 127 tornadoes in nine different states over a ten-day period.
• Roughly 40% of hurricanes hit Florida.
• To identify these storms, the World Meteorological Organization maintains a six-year rotating list of names.

SERVPRO of Windham & Windsor Counties is available 24/7 to assist with emergency cleanup and restoration following hurricane and storm damage.
