Storm restoration in Lake Butler

Lake Butler is the county seat of Union County, a compact and deeply rural community of around 1,810 in north-central Florida, well inland from the coast but fully exposed to the inland track of tropical storms. When hurricanes and tropical storms push north through the Florida peninsula, Union County absorbs their sustained winds and catastrophic flooding: Hurricane Irma drove the Santa Fe River to a record gauge height and inundated some properties under 15 to 17 feet of water, and Tropical Storm Debby in 2024 forced emergency closures of river crossings across the county all over again. Widespread tree fall and structural damage from tropical wind events are a separate, compounding threat across the county's forested landscape. Storm Damage 911 connects Lake Butler homeowners with vetted, licensed local pros for a free damage assessment.

Local specialists for Lake Butler storm damage

Union County is a small, fully inland county in north-central Florida, so it carries no hurricane storm surge risk, but it is directly exposed to inland flooding and tropical wind damage as storms track northward through the Florida peninsula. The Santa Fe River, which forms part of the county's southern boundary, has produced record flood levels during major storms - Hurricane Irma (2017) drove the Santa Fe at Worthington Springs to a record gage height of 9.0 meters, inundating properties with depths of 15 to 17 feet in some locations. Tropical Storm Debby (2024) again forced emergency closures of river crossings across Union County as the Suwannee and Santa Fe systems overran their banks. Sustained tropical-force winds from inland-tracking storms also cause widespread tree fall and structural damage across the county's pine and mixed-forest landscape.
