Parkland, Florida, located approximately eight miles inland from the Atlantic Coast, is susceptible to hurricanes and tropical storms despite its relatively inland location. While storm surge impact is less in inland locations, strong winds, heavy rainfall, and resultant flash flooding are typical concerns. The risk of flooding can be exacerbated by tropical cyclones, as seen in the past. The town has a low average elevation of only 13 feet above sea level, so while it does not face the same storm surge threats as coastal cities, heavy rainfall could still cause significant flooding, particularly in heavy precipitation events associated with tropical systems. Historically, Parkland has been impacted by several major hurricanes. In 1992, Hurricane Andrew struck approximately 30 miles southwest of Parkland, bringing torrential rains and devastating winds to the area, causing considerable damage. More recently, in 2005, Hurricane Wilma lashed the region with violent winds and heavy rain, leading to massive power outages and destruction. Despite not being directly hit, Parkland still experienced severe effects due to its proximity to the storm's path. Given these historical precedents and Parkland's geographical characteristics, the significant threats from potential hurricanes are wind damage, heavy precipitation causing flooding, and attendant power outages. The community should be prepared for these potential impacts as part of their hurricane season plan.
