Campbell, Florida, lies approximately 60 miles inland from both coasts. Based on its location, the major concern is more often associated with severe rain leading to flooding, rather than the storm surge that coastal towns may face. However, despite its location inland, hurricanes and tropical storms are still a significant threat and can cause damage from high winds, heavy rain, and possible tornadoes. Campbell's elevation is only at about 50 feet above sea level, which means there is a moderate risk of flash flooding especially in the event of a slow-moving storm that drops heavy rain over a more extended period of time. Looking back over the last 30 years, Campbell, like much of Florida, has experienced the impact of numerous tropical systems, such as Hurricane Charley in 2004 and Irma in 2017. These hurricanes triggered torrential rainfall leading to considerable flood damages. Hurricane Charley, a Category 4 storm, was particularly destructive with high winds causing severe damage to infrastructure and vegetation. Irma, one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record, caused widespread flooding throughout the state, including Campbell and the surrounding areas. Thus, the town needs to have well-planned and continually updated hurricane preparedness strategies in place.
