🌪️ **Hurricane Season Is Here – Don’t Let a “Small Storm” Turn Into a Big Expense** 🏠
As of **June 1st, hurricane season is officially underway on the Texas Gulf Coast.**
You may hear that **2026 is expected to be a “lighter” hurricane season**, but Gulf Coast property owners know better than to let their guard down.
Because here’s the reality:
**It only takes ONE storm.**
And no — it does not have to be a major hurricane.
Even a **Category 1 storm** can leave behind:
⚡ **Days or even weeks without power**
🌧️ **Roof leaks and costly water damage**
🌳 **Fallen trees, damaged fences, and debris cleanup**
🏚️ **Vacant properties sitting unnoticed with storm damage**
💸 **Thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs**
📞 **Emergency maintenance calls and frustrated tenants**
Sometimes the biggest property headaches come from storms that weren’t expected to be “that bad.”
🌀 **What Experts Are Predicting for 2026**
Current forecasts are calling for:
• **8–14 named storms**
• **3–6 hurricanes**
• **1–3 major hurricanes (Category 3+)**
While forecasts suggest a slightly quieter season overall, Texas remains vulnerable to **fast-forming Gulf storms, flooding, wind damage, and storm surge — often with little warning.**
