Located in Nassau County, Yulee, Florida, is typically at a higher risk for hurricane impacts due to its proximity to the Atlantic Coast. Despite being somewhat inland, it still feels the effects of storms that hit the coastal areas. Storm surge, hefty winds, torrential rains leading to flooding, and even tornadoes spawned by hurricanes can pose significant threats to this town. The elevation of Yulee ranges from 16 to 53 feet above sea level, and with the majority of the land relatively low-lying, it is susceptible to flooding, especially during major storms. Over the years, hurricanes and tropical storms passing through or near North Eastern Florida have caused instances of flooding in Yulee. Over the past three decades, several significant storms have impacted Yulee, Florida. Hurricane Dora, in 1964, was one of the most destructive for the area, causing severe flooding and damage. More recent and notable events include Hurricanes Irma and Matthew. In 2016, Hurricane Matthew caused widespread damage due to strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surge, though Yulee was somewhat spared from the worst of it. A year later, in 2017, Hurricane Irma led to significant flooding in the town, along with wind damage, making it one of the most impactful storms in recent history. These historical precedents underscore the importance of effective hurricane preparedness for Yulee, especially considering predictions of more intense and frequent hurricanes due to climate change.
