Public Adjusters in Wilmington, NC

Wilmington sits on the Cape Fear River just 12 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, making it one of the most hurricane-exposed cities in the United States. The city has been struck by or significantly impacted by more named Atlantic hurricanes than almost any other major metropolitan area — a distinction that reflects both its geography and the preferred track of Cape Verde-type storms curving northwest across the warm Atlantic. Hurricane Florence in 2018 was a defining event: the storm made landfall near Wrightsville Beach as a Category 1 and then stalled over the region for three days, dumping up to 36 inches of rain and causing catastrophic flooding along the Cape Fear River and its tributaries that affected tens of thousands of homes, many of which did not carry flood insurance.
