Corpus Christi's Hurricane Reality Demands Immediate Response
Hurricane Harvey (2017) catastrophically flooded the entire Coastal Bend region. Hurricane Celia (1970), Allen (1980), and Bret (1999) all made near-direct hits on Corpus Christi. The city sits directly on the Gulf of Mexico with annual hurricane season threats from June through November. With direct Gulf exposure and 62% of residents in FEMA flood zones, hurricane flooding is not a possibility — it is a recurring reality.
After every major Gulf Coast hurricane, Corpus Christi is flooded with out-of-state contractors — storm chasers who cost Texas homeowners millions annually. RapidShield vets every contractor for Texas licensing, insurance, IICRC certification, and permanent Coastal Bend presence.
Wind vs. Flood — Separate Texas Insurance Claims
Your Texas homeowner's insurance and NFIP flood insurance are completely separate claims. Wind damage and flood damage must be documented separately.
Storm Chaser Warning
After every Gulf Coast hurricane, out-of-state contractors flood Corpus Christi. Always verify Texas licensing and local Coastal Bend references.
