About Glen Ridge.
Glen Ridge, Florida, although located inland, is still susceptible to significant impact during a hurricane event, particularly due to heavy rainfall and consequential flooding. Though it largely escapes the direct brunt of storm surge impacts that coastal towns face, its proximity to the coast, being less than 5 miles inland, means that it can still be affected by intense winds and rain associated with hurricanes. Despite having an elevation above sea-level of approximately 17ft., areas within the town may be prone to flooding particularly if a hurricane stalls over the region or the storm moves relatively slowly, causing prolonged periods of heavy rain.
Historically, major hurricanes such as Hurricane Andrew (1992), Hurricane Jeanne (2004), and Hurricane Irma (2017) have all impacted Glen Ridge and the surrounding areas. These storms brought widespread flooding and wind damage, demonstrating that hurricane threats are real and significant for this region. As a town with relatively lower elevation and proximity to larger bodies of water, residents should certainly have a hurricane preparedness plan in place. Additionally, due to its geographical location in South Florida, the area is prone to frequent tropical storms and hurricanes as it sits directly within the path of potential storms moving through the Caribbean. Therefore, the potential hurricane impacts to be considered include high speed winds, heavy precipitation with consequent flooding, and potential for prolonged periods without utilities in the aftermath of significant storms.
