About Hunters Creek.
Hunters Creek, Florida, despite being somewhat inland (about 60 miles from the east coast and 90 miles from the west coast) is still significantly susceptible to hurricane threats due to its flat terrain and Central Florida position. Due to its catchment position for rainfall, this region experiences a high level of runoff which, coupled with the region's proximity to several large bodies of water, creates a higher-than-average flood risk. When considering the potential for natural disasters such as hurricanes, both the wind and water damage must be accounted for. The extent of wind damage can vary depending on the construction of structures in the area, but the potential for flooding is generally high due to the locale's low-lying, relatively flat topography.
Over the past 30 years, multiple major hurricanes and flooding events have impacted Hunters Creek. In 2004, Hurricane Charley struck the region with 105 mph winds and heavy rains, causing widespread property damage and flooding. Later, in 2017, Hurricane Irma passed over Hunters Creek, resulting in rainfall totals nearing two feet in some areas. Irma's impact was widely felt, causing both wind and flood damage throughout the community. Further back, Hurricane Andrew in 1992 also caused significant damage in the region. As climate change continues and sea levels rise, it seems likely that Hunters Creek and similar inland towns may experience ever increasing hurricane threats and flood risks. Awareness of these potential impacts is crucial for residents who need to be prepared for possible future weather events.
