The Window Guys of Florida - South Florida’S Hurricane Impact Windows and Door Source

105 18
While most enjoy the exceptionally long summers in South Florida, residents understand that this comes at a price. The word "Hurricane" immediately causes fear and agitation to anyone who has had to endure one, dredging up painful memories of long fuel queues, last-minute grocery chopping frenzies, and the possibility of being without power for days, or even weeks. The idea of a major storm occurring during our mild winters seems ludicrous. Sadly, a winter hurricane are entirely possible.

Xaver | A Winter Hurricane

Earlier this month, the month of December, Northern Europe was dealt an exceptionally raw deal as winter hurricane Xaver swept through the United Kingdom, Northern Germany, and some parts of Scandinavia. Yes, that is correct. A winter hurricane struck Europe in December. It's a hard pill to swallow, but it's like Bob Dylan said, the times, they are a-changin'.

Xaver's strength was also much greater than what had been anticipated. With winds measuring up to 140 miles per hours, it was certainly nothing to sneeze at. More than 100,000 homes were left without power in the U.K., as well as massive disruptions to road, railway, and ferry traffic in Germany. Record-level storm surges caused massive flooding, as well as damaged roofs and windows. An absolute nightmare to a region that never has to deal with this occurrence.

Winter Hurricanes

By that meter, if a storm like Xaver can afflict a much colder climate like northern Europe, then it can be assumed that one is at least somewhat likely to occur in southern Florida, a region already accustomed to the plight of tropical weather systems. As you can see, impact windows and doors aren't just useful during the summer. Your investment retains its value substantially as the threat of a winter hurricane becomes more common.
