About DeLand.
DeLand, Florida, while not directly on the coast, is deceptive in its hurricane vulnerability. Its inland location, around 20 miles from the Atlantic to the east, does not exempt it from significant hurricane impacts. One of the primary concerns for DeLand is the potential for intense rainfall leading to flooding. The city sits at a relatively low elevation, averaging approximately 33 feet above sea level, making it susceptible to runoff and localized flooding. The St. Johns River to the east and Lake George to the northwest could potentially overflow with extreme rainfall, escalating the risk.
In the past 30 years, DeLand has experienced various notable hurricane impacts. Specifically, 2004 was a particularly harsh year, with Hurricanes Charley, Frances, and Jeanne causing widespread damage in rapid succession. More recently, Hurricane Irma in 2017 brought heavy rains, winds, and subsequent flooding to the area, illustrating that DeLand can easily become a victim of hurricane-induced disaster. These instances underline the importance of not underestimating hurricane impacts in DeLand, despite its distance from Florida's coastlines. Preparedness for hurricanes, including potential for high winds, heavy rain and resultant flooding, and power outages is crucial for this area's population.
