According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the annual average rainfall in Florida is 53.7 inches, which is well over the national average of 30.28 inches per year. Florida has a flat terrain, meaning this frequent, heavy rainfall can quickly turn into dangerous flash floods. When cars are caught in the middle of these flash floods, there are more possibilities for accidents. The better your coverage, the better protected your assets are.
