Green Cove Springs, Florida, aunque no está directamente en la costa, sigue siendo susceptible a un riesgo significativo de huracán, en gran parte debido a su ubicación próxima a la costa este, a unos 80 kilómetros tierra adentro, y la considerable presencia del río St. Johns que atraviesa la ciudad. Con una altitud casi al nivel del mar, la ciudad alberga un notable riesgo de inundación, especialmente por la marejada ciclónica inducida por huracanes que puede resultar de los huracanes que tocan tierra en la costa este, y las fuertes lluvias que podrían hacer que los niveles del río St. Johns aumenten. Además, el carácter estrecho y sinuoso del río St. Johns en esta ubicación aumenta el riesgo de inundación ya que el agua de tormenta tiende a acumularse y tiene dificultades para dispersarse. Históricamente, Green Cove Springs ha experimentado varios huracanes y eventos de inundación notables durante los últimos 30 años. El más significativo en años recientes fue el Huracán Irma en 2017, que generó una devastadora marejada ciclónica, fuertes ráfagas de viento y notables totales de lluvia que provocaron inundaciones generalizadas en la ciudad. El Huracán Matthew en 2016, aunque permaneció en alta mar, trajo fuertes lluvias que contribuyeron a las inundaciones en la ciudad. También vale la pena considerar la inundación de 1998 que la ciudad experimentó con el paso del Huracán Earl, que fue otro evento que permaneció en alta mar pero resultó en inundaciones dañinas. En general, la amenaza de los impactos de huracanes en Green Cove Springs sigue siendo una consideración importante dada su susceptibilidad a las inundaciones, a pesar de su posición ligeramente más tierra adentro en Florida.

This hurricane evacuation zone lookup gives you a clear starting point so you can plan ahead and stay informed.
