Many homes were lost and many damaged.<\/p>\n<p>But there is one damaged home that\u2019s ready for the onslaught of the next hurricane season, standing out from other buildings. Its bright orange roof shouts out: \u2018Stormseal\u2019, now protected with its patented heat sealed, storm resistant covering.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2ScaLbIFdlA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Owners Dan and Cindy O\u2019Connell said Hurricane Michael devastated their home causing huge damage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe entry to our home was washed away including the deck. We lost part of the roof, all of the front sliders were blow out and we even found sand in our light fittings,\u201d Dan and Cindy said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of the contents were destroyed by the wind and rain and all of the drywall and floor coverings had to be removed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are one house back from the beach and took a direct hit from the North wall of the Hurricane. The damage was catastrophic and most homes are simply gone,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<h4>They have been grateful to Stormseal which was installed because they had heard of it locally.<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cWe work next door to Stormseal and were familiar with the quality of the product so when I told them about the damage sustained by our house, they sprang into action and within a day or two the house was completely covered in Stormseal, and still is!\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<p>Stormseal has been protecting their home for around eight months as of June 2019. Dan and Cindy are grateful for this because bad weather has hit since, causing neighbours tarpaulins to fly off.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe\u2019ve had many days of rain and wind squalls during the past months yet the house has remained dry inside and the Stormseal still looks the same. Most of the tarpaulins in the area have either blown off or been replaced a number of times,\u201d Dan and Cindy said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStormseal has allowed us to \u2018get on with life\u2019. We are all so busy these days, a disaster like this really turns things upside down,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">\u201cWith Stormseal we\u2019ve been able to salvage what we could and get on with the insurance process\u2026which takes time! We haven\u2019t had to worry about additional damages or trying to secure the tarpaulin over and over again.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The peace of mind that Stormseal creates is clear in Dan and Cindy\u2019s case, allowing them to get on with sorting out their claim and protecting their beautiful home.<\/p>\n<h4>They did have a message for the insurance companies and other home owners reiterating how Stormseal has protected them from further weather events:<\/h4>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHomeowners and insurance companies need to know about this product.
