Beverly Hills, Florida, while not located directly on the coastline, is still susceptible to the impacts of a hurricane or tropical storm. Its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, approximately a 10-15 mile distance, means that it can experience heavy rainfall, high winds, and potential tornadoes from a passing or nearby hurricane. Furthermore, area's low elevation increases its flood susceptibility, as heavy rain brought on by hurricanes often overwhelm drainage systems and can lead to flooding. The community needs to be prepared for these potential events, specifically power outages, tree damage from high winds, and possible flooding of roads and low-lying areas. Historically speaking, Beverly Hills has received effects from various hurricanes and tropical storms over the last 30 years. Hurricane Elena in 1985 and the No-Name storm in 1993 had some of the most significant impacts on the city. More recently, in 2017, Hurricane Irma passed near the region, causing power outages and downed trees. However, severe flood events have been rare with no major floods recorded in the last 30 years. Encouragingly, this points towards an effective local drainage system and appropriate infrastructural planning. Notwithstanding, given their vulnerability to hurricane impacts, residents are advised to always heed warnings from local officials and monitor the latest forecast during hurricane season.
