About Pierson.
Pierson, Florida, though tucked well inland, is not immune to the risks posed by a hurricane. While it is located about 25 miles from the coast, this relative distance can offer a bit of protection from direct hits and storm surge. Nevertheless, hurricanes can pack a punch even inland, with devastating effects caused by high winds, heavy rains, and possible tornadoes. Historically, Pierson lies within an area that can experience moderate to major hurricane activity. Additionally, its average elevation of 31 feet does not significantly reduce its risks related to flooding, especially from substantial rainfall that hurricanes can bring.
Historically speaking, significant hurricane events have occurred in the region within the past 30 years, including Hurricane Charley in 2004 and Hurricane Irma in 2017. In particular, Hurricane Irma caused significant flooding and damage in the region. The proximity of Pierson to St. Johns River and other bodies of water contributes to the town's flood risk during and after a major storm. Therefore, it is essential for residents and local officials to take into account these factors and establish a comprehensive disaster management plan to lessen the impacts of a hurricane.
