Why scrubbing it makes it worse
Disturbing mold without containment sends spores through the house - and bleach on drywall kills the surface while the colony keeps growing behind it. Proper remediation seals the area first, removes affected material, and HEPA-cleans the air.
Mold is always a moisture problem wearing a costume. The crew finds and fixes the water source. Mold can return if the underlying moisture problem remains.
Local to Orange County
Orlando gets Florida's water without the coastline - hurricane bands crossing the state, daily summer downpours, and a high water table with retention ponds working overtime. CBS slab homes hide their plumbing under concrete, A/C condensate lines clog and overflow in the long cooling season, and damp drywall grows mold as fast here as anywhere on the coast.
Florida requires mold remediators to hold a state DBPR mold remediation license. Ask for the license number before work starts.
Florida policies may have a separate hurricane deductible. Whether it applies depends on the storm and the statutory hurricane period. Check your policy. Everyday losses - burst pipes, A/C overflows, water-heater failures - use your standard deductible. Rising water from any direction is flood insurance, even this far inland.

Black mold questions
Is black mold really that dangerous?
It's a health concern worth taking seriously - especially for kids, older adults, and anyone with asthma or allergies. Testing tells you what you're dealing with; removal ends the exposure either way.
Is mold removal covered by insurance?
Mold removal may be covered when the mold resulted from a covered sudden water loss, often up to a separate limit. Coverage depends on the cause and your policy's mold exclusions, endorsements and limits. A covered water loss does not automatically establish coverage for mold remediation. Check your declarations page for any mold limit.
Will it come back?
Not if the moisture source is fixed - that's why remediation includes finding it, not just removing what you can see.
