Reddick, Florida is not an immediate coastal town but its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, both roughly an hour and a half away, still make it a potential target for storm impacts. While Reddick's inland position offers some protection, hurricanes can easily move inland causing serious damage. Historically, the region has experienced heavy rain-induced flooding from storms, presenting a significant risk to both residential and commercial properties. The town's terrain is relatively level, limiting any natural flood defenses or water runoff. Over the last 30 years, Reddick has been affected by several notable storms. The most memorable of these include hurricanes Andrew in 1992, Charley in 2004, Frances in 2004, and Irma in 2017. However, even minor hurricanes and tropical storms can cause significant flooding, power outages, and downed trees throughout the region. While these events are not frequent, they exhibit the potential threat hurricanes and major storms can pose to the town. The local authorities should ensure that storm preparedness plans and response strategies are well established, keeping the public informed on necessary safety measures and procedures.
