Hurricane Ian slated to hit Cape Coral

[Allen Wu]

All - First time property owner in Cape Coral. Saw the news just now and looks like Ian is slated to hit Cape Coral directly. What typically happens if the eye of storm hits Cape Coral head on? I have property and flood insurance but am super worried.

Hi Allen,

Depending on the age of your property, it's actually pretty likely that it's already sustained a direct hit from major hurricane Irma in 2017! Cape Coral fared very well against that storm as a whole, and it's not likely to be any different with Ian

Most of what you see from the news and media is highly dramatized and has little merit. Although there is potential for damage, as long as you have sufficient insurance coverage, you will come out of this in the long run without issue
