About Citrus Park.
Citrus Park, Florida, despite being somewhat inland, is not immune to the potential impacts of a hurricane. Given its location in the Tampa Bay area, it is only around 10 miles from the coast, meaning that hurricane-induced storm surge, especially in a major event, may still pose a significant threat. Flooding from heavy rainfall is another concern; while Citrus Park has relatively little exposure to river flooding, highly intense rainfall could lead to flash flooding or the overwhelming of the drainage system. This area is relatively flat, with elevations that do not significantly exceed sea level, which intensifies the flood risk.
Over the past 30 years, Citrus Park has experienced considerable hurricane activity, including impacts from major hurricanes like Hurricane Irma in 2017. Irma caused significant wind damage in the area and left thousands without power. Another notable historical hurricane is the so-called "No Name Storm" of 1993, also known as the "Storm of the Century," which caused considerable flooding throughout the region due to storm surge and heavy rainfall. The FEMA flood map for this area does include 1-percent annual chance flood hazard zones (commonly known as a 100-year floodplain) mainly along the creeks and water bodies throughout the town. Hurricane and flood preparedness, including evacuation plans, is essential for residents of Citrus Park.
