Glenvar Heights, Florida, located approximately 14 miles from the coast, faces considerable risk from hurricanes annually. While the town's distance from the coast provides some protection from storm surge and coastal flooding, it is still vulnerable to heavy rainfall, powerful winds, and other hurricane-related impacts. The region's relatively low elevation, averaging at around 10 feet above sea level, combined with its propensity for tropical weather, amplifies its susceptibility to flooding during hurricane season. In terms of its recent history, the town was significantly impacted by Hurricane Irma in 2017, which resulted in substantial wind damage and considerable flooding. Prior to that, Hurricane Andrew in 1992 caused extensive damage due to its high category 5 wind speeds. Heavy rainfall during these events overwhelmed the region's drainage system leading to flash flooding. Given this history, residents of Glenvar Heights need to be prepared for potential wind damage and flooding from future hurricanes. Mandatory evacuations may also be possible for potential major hurricanes, emphasizing the importance of having a preparedness plan in place.
