About Miami Lakes.
Miami Lakes, Florida, due to its location in Southeast Florida, is highly susceptible to hurricane threats. Being approximately 20 miles from the coastline, it is often subjected to high-intensity hurricanes and tropical storms, causing significant rainfall, severe winds, and potential for tornadoes. This geographical placement, though inland and benefiting from a relatively higher elevation compared to immediate coastal neighborhoods, still often faces resulting storms surge, which, coupled with heavy rain, could lead to localized flooding, posing a significant risk to residents and properties.
Historically, Miami Lakes has been affected by several major hurricanes and floods. Hurricane Andrew (1992), one of the most destructive hurricanes on record for Florida, caused extensive damage to Miami Lakes. More recent hurricanes like Irma (2017) also caused significant flooding, structural damages, and power outages. Another key consideration is that Miami Lakes has several lakes, which could overflow during heavy rainfalls and lead to flash flooding. The town has also been affected by several severe rain storms leading to considerable flooding over the past 30 years. Given these facts, it is critical for residents to follow hurricane preparedness guidelines and evacuation orders and constantly monitor the local weather forecasts during hurricane season.
