Seminole, Florida, is located about 4 miles from the Gulf Coast, a proximity that raises its purpose for concern in the face of potential hurricane threats. Its low elevation, mostly below 30 feet above sea level, could render it prone to storm surge flooding during hurricanes. Moreover, the community is punctuated with numerous streams, ponds, and lakes which heighten the risk of this inundation. In the context of historical weather events, the town has been heavily impacted by multiple severe storms, including those from the infamous 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons. Over the past few decades, these weather events have provoked significant flooding in Seminole, leading to residential and infrastructural damage. The town was majorly hit by Hurricane Frances in 2004 and Hurricane Jeanne the same year, causing widespread damage and flooding. In 2005, Hurricane Wilma also affected the Seminole region with extensive damage reported. Furthermore, more recently in 2017, Hurricane Irma, while not making direct landfall in Seminole, brought heavy rainfall and strong winds to the area. Given Seminole's coastal proximity, low elevation, and evidenced susceptibility to hurricanes, it is crucial to highlight the importance of hurricane preparedness. Residents should understand the potential threats posed by hurricanes, which, besides flooding, can include high winds and related wind-borne debris, and temporary power outages. Adequate insurance to cover potential losses should also be considered. With the incidence of high-intensity hurricanes expected to increase due to climate change, these efforts to mitigate storm impacts become even more pertinent.
