Mount Dora, located in Florida, has seen its share of severe weather, including both hurricanes and floods, despite it being somewhat inland and having a relatively higher elevation compared to much of the state. Its distance from the coastline provides slight protection from direct storm impacts such as storm surges; however, the threat from high-speed winds, heavy rainfall, and resulting floods still persist. The town's higher elevation can cause rapid and severe runoff during heavy rains, increasing the risk of flash flooding. This flooding risk is heightened during hurricane events, when rainfall totals can be particularly high. Revisiting historical hurricane impacts, in 2004, Mount Dora was severely affected by Hurricanes Charley, Frances, and Jeanne, causing significant property damage and power outages. Particularly, after Hurricane Irma in 2017, Lake County which encompasses Mount Dora saw extensive flooding, affecting numerous homes and requiring major clean-up efforts. These past events demonstrate the town's vulnerability to both wind damage and flooding from hurricanes, despite its inland location. Hence, future hurricane preparations in Mount Dora should address both of these primary threats along with a contingency plan to cope with potential consequential impacts such as power outages and infrastructure damage.
