On October 10, 2018, Hurricane Michael made landfall near Panama City as a Category 5 storm with 160 mph winds. It destroyed or severely damaged over 60% of the structures in Bay County. The electrical infrastructure — both the grid and individual home wiring — was devastated.
Seven years later, Panama City is still rebuilding. Some homes were fully rewired to modern code. Others got quick patches that pass a glance but hide corroded connections, improper splices, and panels that weren't designed for the loads they're now carrying. The gap between repaired and done right is where electrical fires start.
Florida adopted stricter building codes after Michael, requiring higher wind-resistance ratings, arc-fault circuit interrupters in more locations, and upgraded grounding.
