⚡️ Update: Category 1 Hurricane Hilary is approaching Mexico's Baja California peninsula, expected to bring "Catastrophic" flooding. It is projected to cross into southwestern U.S. as a tropical storm, causing flash floods, mudslides, isolated tornadoes, high winds, and power outages. Dozens seek shelter in Los Cabos, while Tijuana closes beaches and opens storm shelters. This is the latest major climate disaster impacting North America. #HurricaneHilary #Mexico #California #ClimateDisaster

Hurricane season is upon us and it's one of the busiest times of year as far as preparation goes. Many of our customers are preparing by taking a look at their crawl space and ordering flood vents to help mitigate damages. 👉 You can check out our full inventory online, visit crawlspacedoors.com. Until then, here's some helpful information from NOAA’s National Weather Service: The first step of preparing for hurricanes is to know your risk. Find out today what types of water and wind hazards could happen where you live. Hurricanes are not just a coastal problem. Impacts from wind and water can be felt hundreds of miles inland, and significant impacts can occur regardless of the storm’s strength. Know if you live in an area prone to flooding, if you live in an evacuation zone, and identify any structural weaknesses in your home. https://lnkd.in/g-8te7w7

Commercial property owners: How well do you know your policy?🌪️ Coverage levels can vary. Hurricane coverage may protect against wind only, or offer broader "all-peril" coverage (wind, rain, storm surge, debris). Know what's included to stay protected! #knowyourpolicy

Tropical Storm Alberto, the first of the hurricane season, is targeting Texas and Mexico, bringing severe flooding and high winds. Formed in the western Gulf, Alberto has winds near 40 mph and is expected to strengthen before hitting northeast Mexico early Thursday, then rapidly weaken. Located 295 miles southeast of Brownsville, Texas, Alberto could bring up to 10 inches of rain to South Texas and 20 inches in parts of Mexico. Texas has issued tropical storm warnings and emergency responses. Coastal flooding has been reported, and tornadoes are possible. Capital Disaster Solutions is standing guard ready to react. Our Emergency Number is 800-460-9670. #capitaldisastersolutions #flooding #tropicalstormalberto #hurricane #highwinds #rainfall #storms #texas #southtexas

We are closely monitoring the development of a Potential Tropical Cyclone One, as the safety of our communities in Texas is our top priority. 💡 Here's what you need to know: #Houston: The flood threat has been reduced to Stage 1. Expect rain starting around 4 PM CDT today. #SanAntonio: Heavy rain is anticipated starting Wednesday. Prepare for tropical downpours similar to Houston. #CorpusChristi and South #TX: This region will experience significant rain as the storm is now expected to turn inland into Mexico, bringing heavy precipitation. #Austin: Impact remains minimal, but stay vigilant as weather conditions can change.

Hurricane Idalia struck north-western Florida as a category 3 storm, packing sustained winds of 110mph at landfall. The storm formed quickly over the Gulf of Mexico despite moderate wind shear and marginal mid-level moisture, owing to very warm sea surface temperatures of over 30C. While the system will gradually weaken, winds along the eastern coast of Georgia and South Carolina could be as high as 75mph, which may cause disruption to the major LNG terminal at Elba Island in Georgia over the next few days. #lngtrading #energytrading #hurricaneidalia https://lnkd.in/gUn5QAeS

Signs of what’s to come? Even with typical vertical wind shear values that would usually inhibit hurricane formation, Idalia went against the odds and rapidly intensified from a tropical storm to a category 4 (at maximum intensity). We typically view hurricane ingredients using a holistic approach. Will we see a future where the negative effect of vertical wind shear will be negligible as the oceans continue to warm? Concerning, nonetheless.

Weather events are not only becoming more frequent but also more severe, emphasizing the urgent need for proactive measures to enhance resilience and mitigate the escalating risks. As Hurricane Preparedness Week begins, it is crucial to assess the impact of named storms on insurance claims and understand why this heightened storm activity is likely to persist. Take a look at this special edition of The Edge and learn what our experts are saying about the rise in severe weather events and take an introductory course with our Cat Modeling 101 article.

June first marked the beginning of Hurricane Season and unfortunately NOAA predicts a busy one with an estimated 17-25 named storms. Disasters can strike without warning, which makes preparedness, especially with today’s volatile weather patterns, paramount. As a leader, you have the power to equip your agents—and through them, your communities—with the knowledge and tools they need to weather any storm. From wildfires to floods, to tornadoes and hurricanes, being ready can make all the difference.
