Weeki Wachee Gardens, located in Hernando County on the western coast of Florida, is at significant risk for severe impacts from hurricanes due to its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico. This region has seen several major hurricanes and tropical storms in the past few decades, notably Hurricane Elena in 1985 and Hurricane Irma in 2017, which brought powerful winds, storm surge, and torrential rainfall. These events exemplify the potential for widespread property damage, flooding, and power outages that can arise from tropical cyclonic activity. In terms of flooding risk, Weeki Wachee Gardens, located near the Weeki Wachee River, is particularly vulnerable given its relatively low elevation and potential for storm surge up its waterways. Extensive development and infrastructure in the area could also significantly exacerbate flood damage. Moreover, given climate change considerations, rising sea levels and increased hurricane intensity could further escalate future risk. Therefore, local communities and authorities must ensure effective hurricane preparedness plans and infrastructure reinforcements are in place to minimize potential damages and keep residents safe.
