Immokalee, Florida, located inland and almost 30 miles away from the Gulf Coast, nevertheless remains at risk from hurricane threats due to its relatively flat topography and geological features. The town's near-sea level elevation makes it especially susceptible to heavy rainfall and potential flooding that often accompanies hurricanes. Furthermore, high-speed winds from a strong storm could cause extensive damage to structures and natural vegetation, disrupt power lines and other infrastructure, resulting in prolonged recovery periods. Historically, Immokalee has experienced the wrath of major hurricanes and resultant flooding. One of the most significant storms in recent history was Hurricane Irma in 2017. Immokalee was among the hardest-hit areas within Florida, where the town experienced significant damage to structures from wind and water. Similarly, in 2005, Hurricane Wilma wrought immense destruction as a Category 3 storm, with Immokalee recording extensive agricultural loss and damage to buildings. Consequently, it's important for local citizens and authorities to maintain a proactive stance in terms of disaster preparedness and planning, particularly during the Atlantic hurricane season from June through November.
