About Pinewood.
Pinewood, Florida, located in Miami-Dade County, is over ten miles from the nearest coastline and has little variation in terms of elevation. While its inland location affords it some degree of buffer against the most immediate damage from storm surges, its flat elevation increases the area's vulnerability to heavy rainfall and flooding events. Historically, the region has seen significant impacts from tropical storm and hurricane-induced rain events, such as the devastating flooding caused by Hurricane Irma in 2017, extending far inland.
In terms of major hurricanes, notable systems affecting Pinewood in the past 30 years include Hurricane Andrew (1992), a powerful Category 5 storm, which inflicted serious damage in Miami-Dade County, and Hurricane Wilma (2005), a Category 3 that caused widespread destruction. More recently, Hurricane Irma (2017) also left a significant mark, as it not only caused structural damage due to high wind speeds, but also led to prolonged rainfall-triggered floods. Therefore, for Pinewood, the approach of a tropical system must trigger serious preparation measures aimed not just at battling high wind speeds, but also managing the consequences of torrential rain and flood risks.
