How storms hit Solana
Storm calls in Solana 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.
Solana is a small community east of downtown Punta Gorda, near the Peace River. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 1,062 residents in Solana. The median year of construction is about 1966, so a large share of the housing stock predates modern Florida Building Code wind and water standards. Older housing in Solana often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.
After the storm passes
- Stay out of flood water; it can hide live wires and debris.
- Take photos of the roof, openings, and every wet room.
- Report the claim to your insurer as soon as you can.
What we do after a Solana storm
- Board up broken windows, sliders, and doors with metal panels.
- Pull standing water out of the building.
- Remove soaked drywall, insulation, and flooring that cannot be dried.
- Set air movers and dehumidifiers and track moisture readings until dry.
- Record each source of water apart, because wind and flood are often different policies.
Solana: local context
About 15% of housing units in Solana are mobile or manufactured homes, where manufactured homes are among the most wind-exposed structures in a storm.

The median home in Solana was built around 1966 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey); homes built before 2002 predate the statewide Florida Building Code and its stronger wind provisions.
