While the Florida Panhandle is known for more temperate weather than other parts of the state, we are certainly not strangers to difficult storms. Shifting pressure systems moving across the Gulf of Mexico can create strong weather patterns and tropical storms that wreak havoc on the area. If you live in the Panhandle and own your own home, you know how stressful storms can be - especially if you're worried about roof damage. Roof damage can lead to leaks, which in turn cause expensive and dangerous problems, so it's important to keep your roof weathertight in the face of bad weather. Fortunately, there are measures you can take to protect your roof in the event of a tropical storm.
