Storm restoration in Panama City
Panama City is Bay County's urban center, a Gulf Coast city of about 33,000 rebuilt and still recovering from Hurricane Michael's Category 5 landfall in October 2018 - 160 mph sustained winds, storm surge reaching 9 to 14 feet along the bay and coast, and 45,000 structures destroyed or severely damaged across the county. That storm was the most powerful hurricane to strike the continental United States in decades, but Bay County also absorbed Category 3 Eloise in 1975, reflecting a long history of recurring hurricane impacts. The combination of open-water Gulf surge and low-lying inland terrain means major storm events flood properties well beyond the shoreline. Storm Damage 911 connects Panama City homeowners with vetted, licensed local pros for a free damage assessment.

Local specialists for Panama City storm damage
Bay County sits on Florida's Gulf Coast panhandle and is among the most hurricane-vulnerable counties in the state. Hurricane Michael made Category 5 landfall near Tyndall Air Force Base on October 10, 2018, with 160 mph sustained winds and storm surge of 9 to 14 feet between Tyndall AFB and Port St. Joe, destroying or severely damaging 45,000 structures across the county and obliterating roughly 80% of Mexico Beach. The coastline along the Gulf and St. Andrews Bay is exposed to direct open-water surge, which can exceed 20 feet in major storms, while the county's low-lying interior terrain allows floodwaters to spread miles inland from both surge and heavy tropical rainfall. Bay County also has a history of significant hurricane strikes including Category 3 Eloise in 1975, making repeated storm-restoration demand a defining feature of the local economy.

Is storm damage covered by insurance in Florida?
