Garden Grove is located in South Florida, a region known for its susceptibility to hurricane threats due to its proximity to the tropics and the Atlantic Ocean. Historically, this location has experienced numerous major hurricanes and weather events. Given Garden Grove's position less than 50 miles away from both East and West coastlines, it is exposed to a notable threat from hurricanes and tropical storms. Storm surge is less of a threat, as the town's elevation is moderately higher than many coastal communities in Florida, but this does not preclude the community from experiencing damaging winds, heavy rains, and the potential for tornadoes during a significant tropical system. In the last 30 years, Garden Grove, like many parts of Florida, has experienced impactful hurricanes and associated flood events. Hurricane Andrew of 1992, one of the most devastating hurricanes to hit South Florida, noticeably affected Garden Grove with strong winds and heavy rainfall. More recently, Hurricane Irma in 2017 was another significant storm that impacted the area with flooding, wind damage and power outages. While Garden Grove has a comprehensive stormwater management system, the magnitude of these floods can overwhelm the capacity of the system, causing extensive property and infrastructure damage. Therefore, residents should have a solid hurricane preparedness plan, including storing up on emergency supplies, securing their property, and having an evacuation plan if necessary.
