In October 2018, Hurricane Michael slammed into Florida, causing extensive damage. A property ownership group called Arbor Properties saw significant damage to three apartment buildings near Panama City, Florida.
More than 850 apartment units suffered varying degrees of wind and water damage.
The loss became one of the largest hurricane claims in history, with an approximate value of $90,000,000.
