A home in Panacea after a storm
Wakulla County, FL

Storm restoration in Panacea

Panacea is an unincorporated Gulf Coast community of roughly 735 people in Wakulla County, where the Big Bend's gradually sloping offshore shelf is notorious for amplifying storm surge to some of the highest levels anywhere in Florida. Hurricane Helene's 2024 approach carried surge forecasts of 10 to 15 feet along this coastline, triggering countywide mandatory evacuations, and Hurricane Hermine's 2016 landfall knocked out power to nearly 15,000 customers while driving the Wakulla River to its second-highest recorded level. Beyond wind and surge, the St. Marks and Wakulla Rivers rise rapidly during storm events and regularly inundate low-lying communities like Shell Point and Alligator Point that share Panacea's coastal character. Storm Damage 911 connects Panacea-area homeowners with vetted, licensed local contractors for a free assessment after any storm event.

Local specialists for Panacea storm damage

Wakulla County sits on Florida's Gulf Coast in the Big Bend region, where the coastline's shallow, gradually sloping shelf amplifies storm surge to among the highest levels in the state - Hurricane Helene (2024) carried surge forecasts of 10 to 15 feet along the county's coast, and mandatory evacuations were ordered countywide. The county is struck by named storms with high frequency: 63 hurricanes have been recorded since 1930, with Hurricane Hermine (2016) making landfall nearby, knocking out power to nearly 15,000 customers, triggering river flooding on the Wakulla River to its second-highest recorded level, and destroying one commercial structure while damaging dozens of homes. Beyond surge and wind, the county experiences significant inland flooding driven by the St. Marks and Wakulla Rivers, which rise rapidly during storm events and inundate low-lying rural and coastal communities including Alligator Point and Shell Point.
