In Jacksonville, preparing for hurricane season often means hauling heavy wooden planks or metal shutters to protect your home’s windows. Fortunately, there’s a more efficient and long-term solution for keeping your windows safe from hurricane-force winds.
Understanding Jacksonville and Hurricanes
While Tampa, Jacksonville, and the Big Bend aren’t always directly hit by hurricanes, these areas are still at risk each year. The impacts of hurricanes, like Hurricane Irma, can be extensive even from a distance. Irma caused significant flooding and wind damage in Jacksonville despite being downgraded to a tropical storm as it passed. With hurricane-force wind gusts, tornadoes, and widespread damage, Jacksonville residents must take precautions to protect their homes.
Why Coastal Safety is Crucial
Jacksonville is particularly vulnerable to hurricane damage due to coastal winds that regularly affect Northeast Florida. The National Weather Service explains that coastal winds from large storm systems can be strong enough to knock over power lines and cause widespread outages. Florida’s peninsula geography makes it susceptible to these winds and storms, even those not classified as hurricanes.
