Pomona Park, Florida, is inland but is still subject to the impacts of hurricanes, including high wind speeds, heavy rainfall and potential flooding. The town is situated near Lake Broward, which may exacerbate flooding risks if a significant amount of rainfall were to occur during a hurricane. Its relative lack of elevation, typical of much of Florida, means that storm surge is not a significant issue, but also makes the location more susceptible to any potential flooding as water tends to accumulate in low-lying areas. Historically, rainfall-induced flooding, particularly from storm systems, is a frequent issue in this region. Over the last 30 years, several major hurricanes have impacted Pomona Park. Hurricanes that have brought substantial rain and wind damage to the area include Hurricane Irma in 2017, Hurricane Frances in 2004, and Hurricane Floyd in 1999, all of which were Category 4 or 5 storms at their peak. While Pomona Park is inland and somewhat shielded from the full force of these storms, they did bring heavy rainfall and winds to the region, causing significant damage to property, infrastructure and the local environment. Therefore, while storm surge is less of a concern for inland areas like Pomona Park, hurricanes can still bring considerable damage through other mechanisms.
