It's still continuing which is partly why some people have not made repairs to their homes. When I was still in Orlando a few weeks ago, there was a house in my neighborhood that had the roofing wood exposed. There's no way that house could be liveable! My roommate's home had just a tiny bit of wood exposed from where the shingles had been ripped out and we had severe interior water damage. I can only imagine what that other house looks like on the inside. My neighbor had just gotten her roof repaired in March which was 6 months after the final hurricane hit. Allstate kept giving her the runaround. I wrote about some of the problems people were having in a post a few months ago. Insurance companies didn't and still don't want to hand out the money that their customers deserve. I will say that my roommate had nothing but a great experiene with State Farm and I know many others were the same way. They gave their customers money immediately and gave them more than enough to fix all the repairs. Allstate, Nationwide and a few others are still denying claims to many customers (and going to court in some cases).
I just really hope another hurricane doesn't come through and devastate Florida like the 4 last year. It could be really bad....
I think the best thing to come out of this is that people all over Florida know now that a hurricane can hit them and not just South Florida. Dade and Broward County (Miami/Ft.Lauderdale area) have very stringent hurricane codes. All homes must built to withstand 120mph winds and only a certain type of roofing tile is allowed to prevent the winds from ripping them out (which is what happened with my roommate's asphalt tiles thus causing water to seep in from where the nails were ripped out). I have a feeling all of Florida will adopt those codes.
