Nocatee, Florida, is located in the northeastern part of Florida, a significant distance from the Atlantic Ocean. Despite its distance from the coast, the community is still susceptible to storm surge, high winds, flooding, and potential tornadoes spawned from tropical systems. Winds usually cause structural damage, power outages, and cascading impacts on critical infrastructure and services. Although Nocatee is fairly inland, heavy rain from a hurricane could still lead to significant flooding, especially if the storm moves slowly. This area also has to consider the storm surge threat from the nearby St. Johns River, which can significantly rise during hurricane events. Historically, Nocatee has not seen significant flooding in the past 30 years, but instances of flooding have occurred in nearby areas. The town was affected in 1995 by Hurricane Erma that led to power outages and some property damage, in addition to flooding on a minor scale. In 2017, Hurricane Irma brought significant wind damage and power outages to Nocatee, yet, luckily the town was spared from the severe flood damage that was seen in other parts of the state. However, this does not exclude the fact that a future, severe hurricane could potentially result in more considerable damage. The town always should take precautionary measures during hurricane season, developing hurricane plans, preparing evacuation routes, and staying informed about the current weather situation to mitigate any future hurricane threats.
