I know it was in Texas and we take care of ourselves here, but didn’t Hurricane Ike happen in 2008?
I don’t recall any concern, but there were plenty of folks displaced by 5-8 feet of flood water in their homes and power was out for nearly 2 weeks.
I can never forget the smell of the houses we helped clear out which had been deluged not only by the Gulf floodwaters but also the sewage which crept up and out in its wake. Disgusting.
I guess Hurricane Ike could be named Hurricane Servpro because it was like it never happened.

There has not been a MAJOR hurricane to hit in 10 years. A major hurricane is defined as those with winds of 115 mph or more, which is a cat 3 or higher storm.

Yes, Ike was 2008 but by the time it made landfall in TX, it was only category 2, which doesn't count as a major hurricane.
