Pebble Creek, Florida, despite its inland location in Hillsborough County, is susceptible to the effects of hurricanes, including high winds, excessive rainfall, and likely flooding. The community is situated not far from the coast, meaning storm surges can increase the risk of flooding as well, even if Pebble Creek itself is not immediately on the coast. The community has an average elevation of just 39 feet, which does not provide substantial natural protection from flooding. Historically, flooding has been a prime concern in this region during hurricane events, due to its low elevation and its proximity to nearby water bodies. Over the past 30 years, several major hurricanes and floods have impacted Pebble Creek. Notable examples are as recent as 2017 when Hurricane Irma caused extensive damage and resulted in flooding across Florida, including Hillsborough County. Other potent storms in the region include Hurricane Andrew back in 1992, which caused over $27 billion in damage and Hurricane Charley in 2004, which struck with lesser magnitude compared to Andrew but still left significant impacts in its path. Therefore, the history and geographical considerations of Pebble Creek point out the need for thorough hurricane preparation and strong infrastructure to withstand potential storm damages.
