About Rockledge.
Rockledge, Florida, situated about 10 miles from the coast, presents a medium hurricane threat as determined by its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and its location within the state of Florida. Its relatively low elevation, with a mean height of 10 feet above sea level, increases vulnerabilities to storm surges, flooding, and heavy rainfall, which typically accompanies hurricanes. Historical flood risk for Rockledge is notably high, especially considering rainfall data and documented cases of localized flooding. It is also worth noting that this region frequently experiences the effects of tropical systems, such as high winds, which can result in power outages and wind damage to structures.
Over the past three decades, Rockledge has experienced several significant storm events. One of the most impactful was Hurricane Irma in 2017, which caused significant flooding and wind damage. The passing of Category 4 Hurricane Charley in 2004, although not a direct hit, brought heavy rainfall and tropical-storm-force winds to the area. Looking back to 1995, Hurricane Erin, a Category 1 storm, made landfall near Rockledge, bringing extensive flooding and damage to the area. Therefore, the residents of Rockledge should always be prepared for the potential of destructive storms during the Atlantic hurricane season.
