Do you know that our team in Crestview, DeFuniak Springs, and Chipley has been restoring severe storm damage in DeFuniak Springs for over twenty years? The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) offers helpful information for staying safe in all kinds of extreme weather. Here is some info from FDOT about thunderstorms: 

• Florida sees an average of 1.4 million cloud-to-ground lightning strikes every year and often has the greatest number of lightning-related injuries and deaths in the United States 
• The air around a lightning bolt can heat to 50,000° F (27,760° C) and is much hotter than the sun's 9,900° F (5,510° C) surface. The heating occurs so quickly that the expanding air breaks the sound barrier as thunder. 

• Florida has the greatest number of thunderstorms in the United States, occurring 75 to 105 days each year 
• Thunderstorms can produce dangerous hazards such as lightning, tornadoes, hail, strong winds, and heavy rain that can lead to flooding. Severe thunderstorms produce winds in excess of fifty-eight miles per hour, hail one inch across or larger, or tornadoes.
