About Glen St. Mary.
Glen St. Mary, Florida is situated about 30 miles from the coast, and this land distance provides a buffer from storm surge, one of the primary drivers of hurricane-related damage. However, hurricane threats for this inland town often include high wind speeds, heavy rainfall, and flooding as part of the aftermath of a strong storm system. The town's elevation is relatively low, rising a meager 43 feet above sea level, making it more prone to flooding, especially due to torrential rains from a tropical system. Also, given that the town lies on the St. Mary's River, it possesses a higher risk of river-based flooding.
In the past 30 years, major tropical systems including Hurricane Irma in 2017, and Hurricane Matthew in 2016, have impacted Glen St. Mary, Florida and brought considerable rainfall and flooding in the region. During Irma, Baker County, which includes Glen St. Mary, reported storm surge inundation and freshwater flooding, leaving many roads impassable. Hurricane Matthew also brought alarms of forced evacuations due to the rising waters of the St. Mary's River. Despite being slightly inland, Glen St. Mary must still consider hurricane preparedness, especially for events like high wind gusts and heavy flooding.
