Flood Insurance: the best defense against lurking waters in Florida. Last week, meteorologists pointed out an interesting fact: in the month of June, in the Atlantic, there were two tropical storms: Bret and Cindy. It was the first time in decades that this had happened.
Although the hurricane season began on June 1st, it is not usual for these disturbances to form so early. Typically, they occur starting in July. But meteorologists say the Atlantic Ocean is “unusually warm,” which stimulates the formation of storms. Fortunately, neither Bret nor Cindy had any impact on Florida.
However, the hurricane season has just begun and will be in effect until November 30th. Over these six months, storms, heavy rains, and surges will be frequent.
Residents of Florida know that we live just a heavy rain away from experiencing a major flood. There is little we can do from our homes to prevent this reality. The best idea is to have flood insurance that allows us to mitigate the damages that water entering our homes can cause.
According to FEMA, just one inch of water entering a home is enough to cause about $25,000 in damages.
Don’t wait for the next storm or surge to form, call Univista Insurance and get flood insurance. Remember, homeowner’s insurance does not cover the destruction that water can cause to your biggest investment. Flood Insurance: the best defense against lurking waters in Florida.
