About Lakewood Park.
Lakewood Park, Florida, being relatively close to the Atlantic coastline has a significantly higher propensity to encounter the detrimental effects of hurricanes. In terms of elevation, the town stands just about 30 feet above sea level making it vulnerable to coastal flooding due to storm surges, particularly when a powerful hurricane makes landfall. Further, the history of hurricanes and tropical storms demonstrates an ongoing risk with Hurricane Jeanne in 2004, bringing considerable damage to the town. Heavy precipitation associated with these tropical systems can also potentially lead to inland flooding, depending on the storm's speed and direction of movement.
Over the past three decades, Lakewood Park has faced severe impacts from several major hurricanes. One of the most significant is Hurricane Frances in 2004 which resulted in considerable rainfall, wind damage and flooding. Later that same year, Hurricane Jeanne passed over the area, repeating the devastating effects. These two hurricanes, in such close temporal proximity, left lingering damages and showed the town's vulnerability during the hurricane season. Given these factors, it's imperative for residents to have a well-prepared disaster plan, especially during hurricane season.
