- Hurricane Ian produced tornado touchdowns across Fort Myers and Cape Coral on October 9, 2024, with one tornado tearing off large portions of roofs along Orangewood Ave and another damaging homes in Matlacha with winds strong enough to collapse mobile home walls.
- An EF-2 tornado moved through the Iona and Fort Myers area on January 16, 2022, with peak winds around 118 mph, causing significant roof damage before dissipating near the Cape Coral bridge.
- Roof replacement in Cape Coral requires enhanced wind uplift rated systems, as coastal exposure and tropical storm frequency put standard shingle installations at higher risk of blow-off during August through October storm season.
- Lee County's median home was built in 1994, meaning many Cape Coral roofs are approaching or past the 25-year replacement threshold for asphalt shingle systems exposed to high UV and storm frequency.
- Post-storm permit volume in Lee County building departments spikes after named events, which can extend permit approval timelines during peak replacement season in fall and winter months.
