Storm restoration in Fort Myers
Fort Myers is the seat of Lee County, a Gulf Coast city of nearly 86,000 and the urban core of one of Florida's fastest-growing metros - and also the anchor of a county that is among the most hurricane-vulnerable in the United States. Hurricane Ian made that point definitively when it came ashore in Lee County in September 2022 with 150 mph winds and drove storm surge 10 to 15 feet through Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel, destroying or severely damaging more than 52,000 structures and killing 72 county residents. Lee County also absorbed a direct hit from a Category 4 storm in 2004 and was struck by a surge-generating hurricane as far back as 1960, so Ian was a catastrophic event in an already active hurricane history. Even for inland areas of the metro, compounding freshwater flooding from the Caloosahatchee River basin and drainage canal system extends the damage radius well beyond where surge water reaches. We connect Fort Myers homeowners with vetted, licensed local pros for a free storm-damage assessment.

Local specialists for Fort Myers storm damage
Lee County is one of the most hurricane-vulnerable counties in the United States, sitting on Florida's southwest Gulf Coast where barrier islands, shallow bays, and low-lying terrain concentrate storm surge. Hurricane Ian made direct landfall on Cayo Costa in Lee County on September 28, 2022, with 150 mph sustained winds, driving 10-15 feet of storm surge through Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel that destroyed or severely damaged more than 52,000 structures countywide and killed 72 county residents - the deadliest U.S. hurricane since Katrina in those geographic terms. The county also sustained a direct hit from Category 4 Hurricane Charley in 2004, which generated a 6-8 foot surge along Sanibel and Estero Island, and was previously struck by Hurricane Donna in 1960 whose surge reached 11 feet on the southwest coast. Inland communities including Lehigh Acres, North Fort Myers, and Cape Coral face compounding freshwater flooding from the Caloosahatchee River basin and drainage canal systems during major storm events even when surge itself is less severe.
