Bardmoor, Florida, situated in Pinellas County, is located within miles of the Gulf Coast, which places it within a high risk zone for hurricanes. Its elevation, heading six feet above sea level, adds to this risk as it makes the area susceptible to storm surge flooding. Florida's flat terrain increases the risk of flooding from heavy rainfall associated with hurricanes and tropical storms alike, and Bardmoor's proximity to the coast heightens its vulnerability to hurricane-induced storm surge and flooding. Historically, many regions of Florida, including Bardmoor, have also suffered considerable wind damage during hurricane events, indicating a high potential for wind damage should a hurricane strike the area. Over the past 30 years, Bardmoor has experience hurricane threats and impacts a number of times. Particularly notable instances include Hurricane Frances in 2004 and Hurricane Irma in 2017. During Frances, much of Pinellas County suffered power outages and wind damage, illustrating Bardmoor's vulnerability to these hurricane impacts. Irma, although it made landfall further south, brought heavy rainfall to the area, causing significant flooding and serving as a reminder of Bardmoor's flood risk. These past events indicate the need for Bardmoor residents to prepare for strong winds, flooding, and associated hurricane hazards ahead of the hurricane season.
