Yeehaw Junction, situated in Central Florida, is not directly on the coast, which reduces the threat of storm surge that communities directly on either the Atlantic Shoreline or the Gulf Coast might face. However, its low elevation and the nature of Florida's flat terrain makes it susceptible to heavy rainfall and the resultant flooding risk associated with hurricanes. Flooding remains a significant concern for the area, particularly when slow-moving tropical systems stall or move slowly over the region, providing plenty of time for rain to accumulate and potentially overwhelm local drainage capacities. Historically, Yeehaw Junction has been relatively fortunate with regard to hurricane impacts. Over the last 30 years, no major hurricanes have made a direct hit, though the town was affected by Hurricane Erin in 1995, Hurricane Jeanne in 2004, and Hurricane Irma in 2017. Each of these storms brought significant amounts of rainfall leading to transient flooding, though not catastrophic levels. However, the intensity and path of hurricanes are always unpredictable, so residents should have hurricane preparedness plans in place, and carefully monitor storm forecasts during hurricane season.
