About Satellite Beach.
Satellite Beach, Florida, has a high vulnerability to hurricanes and associated flooding given that it is directly located on the Atlantic coast and with an extremely low average elevation of nearly 13 feet. Coastal towns such as Satellite Beach bear the brunt of any tropical cyclones, frequently experiencing heavy rains, high velocity winds, storm surges, and tornadoes. Specifically, this town needs to be wary of storm surges, as it lies only a few miles south of the Cape Canaveral, a region notorious for storm surges due to the barrier island's extremely low elevation and flatter offshore bottom.
In terms of historical hurricanes, Satellite Beach has seen substantial impact from multiple major hurricanes over the last 30 years. These include Hurricane Floyd in 1999, Hurricane Frances, and Jeanne in 2004, which resulted in considerable flooding and infrastructural damage, and the landfall of Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Hurricane Irma in 2017. The National Weather Service reported over 12 inches of rainfall in portions of Satellite Beach due to Hurricane Irma, once again highlighting its vulnerability to floods. Preparing for hurricane threats involve improving infrastructure resilience, ensuring disaster preparedness on a societal level, and crucially, paying attention to forecasts and evacuation orders.
