Hurricanes and tropical storms can cause a lot of damage.

You will get some warning with a tropical storm or hurricane.

As the Storm Approaches

In Sarasota, Longboat Key, Siesta Key, Lakewood Ranch and other areas of Sarasota and Manatee counties, listen for weather updates on local stations and on NOAA Weather Radio. Stay tuned to the latest information.

REMEMBER: Hurricanes can be unpredictable. There is always potential error in the forecast track from the National Hurricane Center. Don’t focus on the exact forecasted track, listen to local officials. (For more information go to www.noaa.gov or www.weather.gov, click on Tampa Bay area.)

Check your Disaster Supplies. Get any needed items.

Clean and fill bathtubs and sinks before a storm so you’ll have extra clean water.

Turn refrigerator and freezer dials to the coldest settings and avoid opening the doors to help keep perishable food in case of a power outage.

Refill prescriptions. Maintain at least a two-week supply of medication during hurricane season.

Clear your yard of lawn furniture, potted plants, bicycles, trash cans and other potential airborne missiles. Leave the swimming pool filled and super-chlorinated. Cover the filtration system.

Protect your windows and glass doors with plywood or storm shutters. Brace double entry and garage doors at the top and bottom.

If there is a chance flooding could threaten your home, move important items such as electronics, antiques and furniture off the floor.

Fill your car’s gas tank and check oil, water and tires. Gas pumps won’t operate without electricity.

Secure your boat early. Drawbridges will be closed to boat traffic after an evacuation order is issued.

Get cash. Banks and ATMs won’t work without electricity and few stores will be able to accept credit cards or personal checks.

Never sweep or blow yard leaves, pine needles, grass clippings or soil into the street or storm water system. This clogs up the storm water pipes and prevents water from draining.

If you own a business, follow your Business Continuity Plan. For more information on how to create a Business Continuity Plan, go online to www.ready. gov

Storms Come In Many Different Types

2/2/2022 (Permalink)

Always be aware of any approaching storm in your area.

Living in Sarasota, you may ask yourself, “What kind of storms are there? And what kind are common in my area?”

Well, there are many different types of storms, such as:

Derecho Storms

Tropical Storms

Hurricanes

Flooding

Hail Storms

Snow Storms

Hurricanes

Ice Storms

Lightning

Thunderstorms

The most common types of storms in the Sarasota area are:

Derecho Storms

Tropical Storms

Hurricanes

Flooding

Hail Storms

Lightning

Thunderstorms

A thunderstorm is a storm with lightning and thunder. It’s produced by a cumulonimbus cloud, usually producing gusty winds, heavy rain and sometimes hail. The basic ingredients used to make a thunderstorm are moisture, unstable air and lift. You need unstable air that is relatively warm and can rise rapidly.

Damage comes not only from high winds, but also from the so-called marine over wash, a combination of effects resulting from tropical storm conditions that include storm surge, wind setup, wave setup, and wave swash. The primary effect is the storm surge resulting from extremely low atmospheric pressure.

If you are affected by a storm with water damage call SERVPRO® of North Sarasota 941-365-4614.

SERVPRO to Save the Day!

Before and after of storage room after weekend storm.

Don't let flooding from rain compromise your building or products!

What do you get when you add poorly sealed windows, no gutters, a cracked wall, and not being able to check on your property? The perfect recipe for disaster in your business. This picture shows what can happen when you're away from your office building during storm season. This company had major flooding in their storage space and was not discovered until after the weekend. The water had not moved much and there was loss of some products but mostly a huge headache for the owners!

SERVPRO of North Sarasota was there to remove the water, fan with our air movers, and dehumidify the air. We also removed all the damaged goods and set aside for the owners to go through while monitoring temperature and humidity levels. Luckily SERVPRO got there quick when the problem was discovered or their building could have been compromised more by standing water. We won't always have perfect buildings because of time and shifting environments, but that's when you know you can count on SERVPRO!

Flooding from Hurricane Season

It's that time of year again, unfortunately. You live in Florida for the weather which usually we are blessed with sunny skies and warm temperatures but Florida can't be perfect all the time. The NOAA predicts there will be six to ten hurricanes this summer and SERVPRO is on standby to save your property!

Old buildings, compromised structures, flooding from just plain too much rain can cause severely damage buildings or houses leaving you with a big mess! SERVPRO's extractors, dehumidifiers, and air movers eliminate the saturation of water. We observe and measure the humidity for days after to ensure there will be no further problems like mold or structural damage which can hide in the small details of your house.

Mitigation and prevention is key and more so a timely reaction which is why SERVPRO is always ready for your call. So get ready Storm Season 2021, we are more than prepared!

Storm Season is here!
