Storm restoration in Wausau
Wausau is a small Florida Panhandle town of around 371 people in Washington County, set in rolling pine terrain roughly 50 miles inland from the Gulf Coast. That inland distance keeps surge at bay but does nothing to blunt the wind and rain from major Gulf storms: Hurricane Michael's Category 5 landfall in neighboring Bay County in 2018 drove extensive wind damage and several inches of heavy rain across Washington County, and the county has confirmed 31 tornadoes since 1936 - including an EF3 with 150 mph winds in March 2022 that destroyed homes along Gilberts Mill Road and an F2 that leveled 20 homes in Sunny Hills in 2001. Inland flash flooding from tropical systems and seasonal thunderstorm complexes rounds out a multi-hazard profile that affects even the county's smallest communities. Storm Damage 911 connects Wausau homeowners with vetted, licensed local pros for a free assessment.

Local specialists for Wausau 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.
