Threat of Tropical Storms

7/11/2019 (Permalink)

This time of year is when the threat of severe weather and tropical storms begin to loom over the country. The storms could grow from a tropical depression to a tropical storm and then eventually, if it gets strong enough, a hurricane. Luckily in Richmond, Virginia, we don't experience the mass flooding that comes from these storms, but that doesn't mean we can't be there to help when it hits somewhere else!

Disaster Recovery Team Bahen has already made it's way down to New Orleans to help out wherever we're needed. Right now, according to the National Hurricane Center, the tropical storm is expected to become Hurricane Barry and intensify quickly in the next couple of days. Since the movement of this storm is so slow, it will result in a long-duration heavy rainfall. SERVPRO of Richmond and SERVPRO of Henrico's Disaster Recovery Team is on the move with generators and water extracting equipment needed to get businesses affected with water damage back to normal as quickly as possible.
