North Merritt Island, Florida, closely situated to the Atlantic Ocean, is undeniably vulnerable to cyclonic activities, including hurricanes. Prevalent threats are high wind speeds, heavy rainfall, and particularly, storm surges due to its low-lying topography. The island's comparatively flat elevation, with average heights of 3 to 8 feet, offers limited protection from flood waters. Furthermore, the plethora of canals and water bodies in and around the area increase the risk of inland flooding, resulting in substantial destruction of property and infrastructure. The potential for power outages during such events is also significant. In terms of historical hurricane impacts, in the past 30 years, North Merritt Island has endured several major events. Hurricane Andrew in 1992, Floyd in 1999, and Frances in 2004 caused considerable damage. Most recently, Hurricane Irma in 2017 had a significant impact, causing extensive power outages and flooding in areas close to the water. In accordance with these events, residents and local officials should always be prepared for severe wind and flood damage upon the approach of a hurricane. Evacuation orders should be anticipated and heeded, given the area's vulnerability to such extreme weather conditions.
