Storm restoration in DeLand Southwest
DeLand Southwest is an unincorporated community on the western edge of Volusia County's county seat, part of the inland residential growth surrounding one of Central Florida's oldest college towns. This part of the county sits well away from the Atlantic coastline, but the St. Johns River - which defines much of the county's western boundary - creates a separate flooding threat that has proven as damaging as anything the coast has produced. Back-to-back storms in 2016 and 2017 set successive records for inland flood damage across Volusia County, and Hurricane Milton's rainfall in 2024 triggered river flooding that persisted for weeks after the storm itself had passed. We connect DeLand Southwest homeowners with vetted, licensed local contractors for a free storm-damage assessment whenever a tropical system affects the area.

Local specialists for DeLand Southwest storm damage
Volusia County faces a dual threat: direct Atlantic storm surge on its barrier island coastline (Daytona Beach, Daytona Beach Shores, Ponce Inlet, New Smyrna Beach beachside) where surge can reach 20 feet or more in a major hurricane, and severe riverine flooding inland from the Halifax, Tomoka, Indian, and St. Johns Rivers, which can produce six-foot riverine surge that swamps neighborhoods far from the coast. Hurricane Matthew (2016) damaged more than 4,800 homes, businesses, and government facilities countywide, and Hurricane Irma (2017) produced record inland flooding that exceeded all damage from the active 2004 season (Charley, Frances, Jeanne combined). Hurricane Milton (2024) delivered over 15 inches of rainfall, flooded homes to 12 inches internally in South Daytona and Edgewater, and triggered additional St. Johns River flooding weeks after the storm passed. The county's low-lying coastal lands sit predominantly below 10 feet above mean sea level, and research published in the journal Disasters has documented a damage tipping point where Category 4 surge causes disproportionately greater infrastructure loss than Category 3 and below.
