Jay, Florida, although situated inland, is not exempt from the significant effects of hurricanes, primarily due to the heavy rainfall these systems can produce. The town, with its relatively flat terrain and low elevation, is susceptible to flash flooding during hurricane events, substantially damaging property and infrastructure. Moreover, this town is susceptible to hurricane-induced tornadoes, something quite common during such weather events. These tornadoes may present significant risk to life and property. Over the last three decades, major hurricanes that impacted Jay were Hurricane Opal in 1995, Ivan in 2004 and Dennis in 2005 with high winds and excessive rainfall which produced flooding. As a consideration, since Jay is located approximately 25 miles from the coast, it's somewhat shielded from the immediate storm surge risks that coastal areas face, but the torrential rains that accompany these tropical systems can still lead to severe flooding. Because of the high potential for flooding, residents should be prepared to evacuate, especially those living in designated flood zones. Additionally, the town needs solid infrastructure like long-lasting power facilities, storm-resistant buildings, and efficient drainage systems to minimize hurricane impacts. It's also critical that residents stay updated with reliable meteorological sources continually monitoring hurricane developments, as rapid intensification ahead of landfall can alter the storm's severity.
