Danny Lipford is back with a special episode of Today's Homeowner, doing what he does best - helping homeowners tackle problems that they may not know how to handle. In season 9 episode 23 of Today's Homeowner, entitled 'Hurricane Revisit', Danny revisits two homes that he helped repair after they were damaged by the hurricane.

First up is a house in Gulf Breeze, Florida, which was hit hard by Hurricane Ivan. Danny had visited this house before, right after the hurricane had struck. At that time, the whole neighborhood was in shambles, and the homeowners Karen and Rick were overwhelmed with the destruction they had just faced. Danny had promised to return and help them rebuild, and now he's back to see how they're doing. Karen and Rick greet him warmly, and show him how their garden has flourished, thanks to the careful planting of salt-tolerant plants. However, one major problem still remains - their roof is leaking in the guest bathroom, and they don't know how to fix it. Danny takes a look and realizes that the problem is one that he's seen many times before - a misplaced vent under the roof eave. He shows Karen and Rick how to fix it, and soon the leak is sealed up for good.

Next, Danny heads to a house in Biloxi, Mississippi, which was completely destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. The homeowner, George, had been living in a trailer on his property for years while he tried to figure out how to rebuild. In the meantime, Danny had helped him secure his trailer and make some temporary repairs to the property. Now, George has finally been able to rebuild his home, and he wants Danny to come see it. Danny is impressed with the progress that George has made, and is thrilled to see that the house is fully functional - complete with a brand new kitchen and bathrooms. However, there is one issue that still needs to be addressed - the front porch. George had built it himself, but it's starting to show signs of wear and tear. Danny shows George how to rebuild it properly, ensuring that it will last for years to come.

Throughout the episode, Danny stresses the importance of hurricane preparedness. He explains that while it's impossible to completely protect your home from a hurricane, there are steps you can take to minimize the damage. He recommends having an emergency plan in place, making sure that your home has proper insurance coverage, and investing in hurricane shutters or impact-resistant windows.
