About Capitola.
Capitola, Florida, although located more inland than some coastal cities, should not underestimate the destructive force of hurricanes. A potential hurricane threat to this area involves heavy rain and subsequent flooding, particularly as Capitola is somewhat at a flood-risk due to its relatively low elevation and proximity to the St. Marks River and its tributaries. Additionally, hurricanes bring powerful winds that can cause significant structural damage and loss of electricity. Power outages can last for many days, which would interfere with communication, transportation, and other essential needs.
Looking at historical data, Capitola has been impacted by notable storms and hurricanes in the last 30 years. In 1985, Hurricane Kate caused considerable damage to property and infrastructure. Similarly, Hurricane Hermine in 2016, despite being a category 1 hurricane, brought extensive flooding and power outages. Thus, Capitola is no stranger to hurricane impacts and must establish vigilant preparedness plans. The potential for storm surge, even miles inland, has also been a cause for concern. Residents should be aware of these risks and prepare accordingly.
