Located in Hernando County, Wiscon, Florida, is relatively inland, thus reducing its direct vulnerability to storm surge, a common impact of hurricanes. However, being an inland town in hot Florida, it's prone to intense rainfall throughout the hurricane season which could lead to potential flooding, especially in low-lying areas. Further, its subtropical climate makes it susceptible to hurricanes, tropical storms, and severe thunderstorms, even if the town usually experiences lower storm intensity than the coast. Additionally, high winds could result in damage to structures, trees, and power lines, leading to power outages. Over the past 30 years, there have been significant hurricane events that have affected Hernando County, where Wiscon is located. Hurricane Elena in 1985, the no-name storm in 1993, Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne in 2004, and Hurricane Irma in 2017 all had impacts ranging from wind damage to significant flooding. While Wiscon's specific flooding events are less well-documented, risks from heavy rainfall and the proximity of multiple bodies of water, including the nearby Weeki Wachee River and various lakes, are certainly present. Planning for hurricane impacts should therefore take into account not just the potential for direct storm damage, but also indirect effects such as flood damage, wind damage, and power outages.
