Storm risks in Fort Myers Shores
Storm calls in Fort Myers Shores mix wind-driven rain through windows and roofs with high water from canals, bays, or rivers. Board-up comes first, then extraction and structural drying.
Fort Myers Shores is a community along the south bank of the Caloosahatchee on State Road 80, east of I-75. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 5,990 residents in Fort Myers Shores. The median year of construction is about 1977, so a large share of the housing stock predates modern Florida Building Code wind and water standards. Older housing in Fort Myers Shores often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.

Fort Myers Shores by the numbers
Fort Myers Shores is about 8 miles northeast of Fort Myers. Population: about 5,990 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate). Median year built: 1977. That matters because homes built before 2002 predate the statewide Florida Building Code and its stronger wind provisions. About 44% of occupied homes are rented, so landlords, tenants, and managers often share the call and the paperwork.
