Local storm history
Why Winter Park roofs take a beating
Florida lives with hurricane and named-storm risk from June through November — the highest tropical exposure in the country — plus near-daily summer thunderstorm wind and spin-up tornadoes. Wind-driven rain intrusion is the defining claim. In Winter Park and the surrounding Orange County area, hurricanes & named storms and wind damage is most common during the June–November hurricane season. Because storm damage is highly localized, one side of a ZIP can be hit hard while the next street is untouched — a free inspection is the only way to know.
