A year has passed since Hurricane Michael hit Roussos Air Conditioning in Lynn Haven, Florida, and the company is still recovering from the Category 5 storm’s direct hit.
“Being in a coastal community, it is always when, not if, a hurricane is going to hit,” said Pat Boykin, owner of the company. “When we have sufficient warning, we can mitigate impact and reduce damages. When we have no warning, a basic understanding of what is expected afterwards is key to resuming business operations, being a helpful asset to our community, and giving my team members a sense of stability and common cause.”
