All Hands on Deck for Hurricanes Helene and Milton

On Thursday, September 26, Hurricane Helene made landfall near Perry, Florida, as a Category 4 storm. Less than two weeks later, Hurricane Milton struck near Tampa as a powerful Category 3 storm. Hurricane Helene triggered flash flood and hurricane warnings that stretched deep inland, reaching northern Georgia and western North Carolina. Meanwhile, Hurricane Milton delivered over 18 inches of rain, winds exceeding 100 miles per hour, and tornadoes that tore through several Florida communities. Both storms caused widespread damage, marked by severe winds, heavy rain, and tornadoes, leaving a trail of devastation behind them. Combined, the two storms caused power outages impacting over 3 million customers in Florida, 570,000 in Georgia, 760,000 in South Carolina, 416,000 in North Carolina, and 98,000 in Virginia, according to Power Grid International. In the wake of both storms, the governors of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas, and Virginia declared states of emergency.

Before either storm made landfall, Irby Construction began mobilizing to support our customers across the Southeast. We take pride in serving our customers and affected communities during these difficult times and remain committed to our work until full restoration is achieved. Our hearts are with the thousands of people, businesses, and communities that have been impacted by these devastating storms.
