Remembering Ian And Why Preparation Matters.
Hurricane Ian left a lasting mark on Southwest Florida. For Jordan's Shutters, the storm reinforced a message the company has long believed: hurricane protection must be ready before it is needed.
Hurricane Ian Southwest Florida: Devastation, Resilience & A Lasting Reminder.
Hurricane Ian was an event Southwest Florida will never forget. Lives were affected, homes and communities were damaged, and families throughout the region faced the storm's aftermath.
Hurricane Ian Southwest Florida became a lasting reminder of how quickly conditions can change and why hurricane protection should be ready well before a storm approaches. For homeowners, preparation means more than simply having shutters in place. Existing systems need to open, close and secure correctly, and motors, tracks, locks, hardware and manual backup features should be checked while there is still time to correct a problem. The storm also reinforced the value of knowing how a shutter system operates if electrical service is interrupted after severe weather.
Jordan's original account of Ian reflects both the devastation of the storm and the resilience that followed. The company reported no structural damage at its own property, while still experiencing the storm's effects and witnessing the damage throughout the region. Regular inspections before hurricane season can help homeowners identify shutter problems while there is still time to address them.
For Jordan's, Ian gave even greater meaning to the company's long-standing philosophy: “It's not if ... it's when.” Hurricane protection must be inspected, maintained and capable of operating before severe weather arrives.
Jordan's Hurricane Protection Performed As Intended.
The original Ian page documents a post-storm property where Jordan's says its hurricane protection helped protect a large bay window from flying debris and high winds. The roll-down shutter remained undamaged and could still be manually cranked open despite the loss of electricity.
Have Hurricane Protection Inspected Before It Is Needed.
The time to discover a shutter problem is not when a hurricane watch or warning has already been issued. Existing systems should be inspected and maintained so worn hardware, motors, tracks, locks and other components can be addressed beforehand.
Jordan's original Ian page specifically emphasized evaluating existing shutters, replacing faulty parts with the correct components, and correcting installation problems that could compromise protection.
It's Not If ... It's When.
Southwest Florida offers an extraordinary lifestyle, but hurricane season is part of living here. Jordan's message is simple: prepare before the storm, maintain the protection you already have, and make sure it works when you need it most.
