About Chokoloskee.
Chokoloskee, Florida, being a coastal town bounded by the Gulf of Mexico, is significantly vulnerable to the impacts of hurricanes and tropical storms. The town's geographical position makes it primarily susceptible to high winds, storm surges, inundation, and rip currents. These effects can potentially cause extensive property damage and coastal erosion, posing high risk to human life. The town's elevation is generally low, which magnifies the risks associated with storm surges and flooding induced rainfall.
Historically, Chokoloskee had a handful of major storms and floods in the past 30 years. One of the most devastating was Hurricane Irma in 2017, which led to significant flood and wind damage throughout the community. Before Irma, Hurricane Wilma in 2005 also caused considerable destruction in the area. To exacerbate the situation, the location of the town in a hurricane-prone region raises the likelihood of future hurricane impacts. These storms should punctuate the need for residents to remain vigilant, fortify their properties and prepare for possible evacuations during peak storm seasons.
