Verandah, Florida, has a moderate to high risk for hurricanes due to its close proximity to the Gulf Coast, which is commonly traveled by tropical storms and hurricanes. The town's elevation is relatively low, averaging around 20 feet above sea level, making it susceptible to storm surge and flooding, especially during hurricane events. Historical records show that this area experienced significant impact from several storms in past years, particularly the major hurricanes and floods over the last three decades. Storm surge, high winds, heavy rainfall, and flooding are all possible impacts from a hurricane in this area, which could cause severe damage to properties, infrastructure, and the environment. Over the past 30 years, Verandah has been affected by several major hurricanes including Hurricane Charley in 2004 and Hurricane Irma in 2017. Hurricane Charley, a Category 4 storm, caused significant wind damage, while Hurricane Irma, the strongest observed in the Atlantic in terms of maximum sustained winds since Wilma, triggered substantial floods in Verandah. Both disasters have resulted in considerable property damage and loss of services. Therefore, residents should always remain prepared for the potential of storms and stay updated with local weather forecasts, as both the size and path of the storm can greatly vary the impacts.
