Storm restoration in Cross City
Cross City is the county seat of Dixie County, a small town of roughly 1,700 on Florida's Big Bend coast - a stretch of shallow offshore waters and low-lying terrain that amplifies storm surge more than almost anywhere in the state. Hurricane Idalia came ashore as a Category 3 storm in August 2023, and Horseshoe Beach recorded at least 10 feet of inundation - the first direct major hurricane strike in the county in over a century. The county also sits above the Floridan Aquifer, which rises to the surface during heavy rain and keeps rivers like the Suwannee and Steinhatchee flooded for weeks; Tropical Storm Elsa in 2021 left roughly 200 homes standing in water for months. With more than 30 percent of residents in mobile or manufactured housing and no levee or shoreline protection infrastructure, the recovery from any serious storm is long and costly here. Storm Damage 911 connects Cross City homeowners with vetted, licensed local professionals for a free storm-damage assessment.

Local specialists for Cross City storm damage
Dixie County sits on Florida's Big Bend coast, one of the most hurricane-vulnerable stretches in the state due to shallow offshore waters and low-lying terrain that amplifies storm surge. The county's own hazard mitigation plan projects surges reaching up to 24 feet at coastal communities, a figure borne out during Hurricane Idalia (August 2023, Category 3, 125 mph at landfall), when Horseshoe Beach recorded at least 10 feet of inundation - the first direct major hurricane strike in over a century. Inland flooding is a compounding and worsening threat: the county sits atop the Floridan Aquifer, which discharges to the surface during heavy rain, causing rivers such as the Suwannee and Steinhatchee to flood for weeks; Tropical Storm Elsa (2021) left roughly 200 homes with standing water for months. More than 30 percent of county residents live in mobile or manufactured homes, and the county has no levees or shoreline-protection infrastructure, making wind, surge, and freshwater flood damage especially severe and recovery prolonged.

Is storm damage covered by insurance in Florida?
