After back to back storms, one homeowner is making major changes

Flooding in Florida is a significant concern after hurricanes due to the state’s low-lying geography and extensive coastline. Hurricanes bring heavy rainfall, storm surges, and coastal flooding, particularly affecting areas near bodies of water like the Florida Keys. These floods can persist long after a storm has passed, damaging homes, infrastructure, and disrupting everyday life.

Properties directly on the oceanfront and nearby areas are particularly vulnerable, as rising ocean levels and storm surges can inundate neighborhoods. The proximity to the ocean, while a benefit for easy access, also heightens flood risks. Recent years have seen increasing challenges in flood management, making flood insurance and preparedness essential for residents.
