Nobleton, Florida, while not directly on the coast, is still susceptible to significant impacts during hurricane events due to its relatively close proximity to both the Gulf Coast (approximately 25 miles to the west) and Atlantic Coast (approximately 72 miles to the east). Although the town sits at a modest elevation of around 30 feet which provides some level of natural flood protection, it remains at risk for severe weather impacts such as high winds and tornados, in addition to flooding induced by torrential rains associated with hurricanes. Moreover, the Withlacoochee River nearby poses a potential risk for riverine flooding. The recent history has shown that Nobleton can be significantly affected by hurricanes and consequent floods. For instance, the infamous Hurricane Irma in 2017 brought strong winds and heavy rainfall to the area leading to power outages and minor flooding issues. Major hurricane activity like that of Hurricane Andrew in 1992, although centered much further south, still brought hazardous conditions to the region. Similarly, the flooding event produced by Tropical Storm Debby in 2012 also confirmed the town's vulnerability to tropical systems and their associated precipitation. As climate change continues to introduce potential for stronger storms and heavier rainfall events, these hazards should remain a key consideration for residents and emergency management in Nobleton.
