Storm restoration in Fruit Cove
Fruit Cove is a fast-growing unincorporated community along the west bank of the St. Johns River in St. Johns County, where newer planned subdivisions have spread across land that sits squarely in the river's floodplain. St. Johns County carries a layered storm threat: Atlantic exposure brings hurricane-force winds and coastal surge, while the river system - fed by the San Sebastian and its tributaries - backs up quickly under tropical rainfall and pushes floodwater into neighborhoods far from the shoreline. Roughly nine in ten St. Augustine-area residents live within a designated floodplain, and Fruit Cove's rapid westward growth has placed thousands of homes in corridors that drain slowly after major rain events. We connect Fruit Cove homeowners with vetted, licensed local contractors for a free post-storm assessment.

Local specialists for Fruit Cove storm damage
St. Johns County faces a layered storm threat driven by its Atlantic coastal exposure and the low-lying topography surrounding the St. Johns River, Matanzas Bay, and barrier island communities. Storm surge is the primary life-safety hazard: Hurricane Matthew (2016) pushed 5 to 7 feet of surge into St. Augustine's historic downtown, Davis Shores, and Lincolnville neighborhoods, and Hurricane Irma (2017) repeated the same pattern with 3 to 5 feet of inundation. Approximately 90 percent of St. Augustine residents live within a floodplain, and flooding occurs not only from named storms but from normal rainfall coinciding with peak tides and overbank flows from the San Sebastian River and its tributaries. Wind damage is significant countywide, while newer inland communities in the rapidly growing western corridor face freshwater flash flooding from intense convective rainfall that overwhelms drainage systems.
