Storm restoration in Vernon
Vernon is a small city of roughly 732 in Washington County, Florida, sitting about 50 miles from the Gulf Coast - far enough inland to escape storm surge but directly in the path of hurricane-force winds and heavy rainfall from landfalling Gulf systems. Hurricane Michael's 2018 Category 5 landfall in neighboring Bay County sent 6 to 10 inches of rain across eastern Washington County and caused widespread wind damage to homes, timber, and power infrastructure throughout the region. The county also holds one of the more active inland tornado records in the Panhandle, with 31 confirmed tornadoes from 1936 to 2024 including an EF3 in March 2022 with 150 mph winds that destroyed homes along Gilberts Mill Road and a 2001 F2 that took out 20 homes in Sunny Hills. Storm Damage 911 connects Vernon homeowners with vetted, licensed local contractors for a free post-storm damage assessment.

Local specialists for Vernon storm damage
Washington County sits in Florida's inland Panhandle, roughly 50 miles from the Gulf Coast, placing it outside direct storm surge reach but squarely in the path of hurricane-force winds and torrential rainfall from landfalling Gulf storms. Hurricane Michael (October 2018, Category 5 at landfall in neighboring Bay County) delivered 6-10 inches of rain across eastern Washington County and caused widespread wind damage to structures, timber, and power infrastructure throughout the county. The county has a confirmed history of significant tornado activity, with 31 recorded tornadoes from 1936 to 2024 including an EF3 in March 2022 with 150 mph winds that destroyed homes along Gilberts Mill Road, and a 2001 F2 that destroyed 20 homes in the Sunny Hills community; peak tornado months are January, March, October, and November. Inland flash flooding from heavy rainfall associated with both tropical systems and seasonal thunderstorm complexes poses an additional recurring hazard, compounded by the county's rolling pine terrain and limited drainage infrastructure.

Is storm damage covered by insurance in Florida?
