Ojus, Florida, located in the northeastern part of Miami-Dade County, is situated close to the Atlantic Ocean, just a couple of miles inland. Given its geographical location and minimal elevation (approximately 10 feet above sea level), the area is highly susceptible to storm surges, tropical cyclones, and hurricane-generated rainfall, which can result in substantial flooding. Additionally, the lower altitude and flat terrain increase the risk of inland flooding triggered by torrential rains during tropical storms and hurricanes. Infrastructure damage due to high wind speed, power outages, and disruption to transportation are other impacts that residents of Ojus should prepare for during hurricane season. Over the past 30 years, major hurricanes including Andrew (1992), Wilma (2005), and Irma (2017) significantly impacted Ojus. Hurricane Andrew, a Category 5 storm, caused severe devastation with extreme winds and storm surges, while Wilma, a Category 3, and Irma, a Category 4, created extensive flood damage along with high wind destruction. The propensity for flooding is further elevated by the area’s history of significant rainfall events and the presence of several bodies of water, the largest of which are Maule Lake and Little Lake Maule. Each year during the hurricane season (June 1 to November 30), citizens should remain vigilant to updates and potential evacuation advisories from local authorities.
