Storm restoration in Arcadia
Arcadia is a small city of roughly 7,400 in DeSoto County, sitting along the Peace River in southwest-central Florida well away from any coastline. That inland position eliminates surge, but it creates a different problem: when major storms track northeast after Gulf landfall, the Peace River rises fast. Hurricane Charley drove 109 mph winds through Arcadia in 2004, destroying or heavily damaging thousands of homes across the county, and Hurricane Ian's 2022 rainfall pushed the river to nearly double its previous record crest, flooding around 2,000 homes after the storm had already passed. Storm Damage 911 connects Arcadia homeowners with vetted, licensed local contractors for a free damage assessment.

Local specialists for Arcadia storm damage
DeSoto County is an inland county in southwest-central Florida with no direct coastal exposure, making storm surge a non-factor, but the Peace River corridor running through Arcadia creates severe riverine flood risk during major storms. Hurricane Charley (2004) made a direct hit on the county, destroying or heavily damaging approximately 3,600 homes and injuring 150 people, primarily from catastrophic winds reaching 109 mph in Arcadia. Hurricane Ian (2022) shifted the dominant threat to inland flooding: more than 20 inches of rain caused the Peace River to crest near 24 feet, nearly doubling its previous record of 20.55 feet set in 1912, flooding approximately 2,000 homes and closing 15 county roads after the storm had already passed. The county sits in the path of storms tracking northeast after Gulf landfall, with both wind damage and post-landfall riverine flooding as locally specific, high-severity risks.

Is storm damage covered by insurance in Florida?
