About Citrus Hills.
Citrus Hills, Florida, although inland, is close enough to the coast at about fifteen miles to be significantly impacted by hurricanes. When a hurricane does make landfall along the Florida coastline, the town may face threats of strong winds, heavy rainfall, and tornadoes spun off from the storm. These hazards could cause damage to properties, power outages, and road closures due to downed trees or other debris. Due to its low elevation, Citrus Hills also has a moderate to high risk of flooding during intense rainfall events. In the event of a highly destructive hurricane, the area's ground saturation could heighten this flood risk and cause damages to homes not typically prone to flooding.
Over the past 30 years, a notable hurricane that impacted Citrus Hills was Hurricane Irma in 2017. Irma brought damaging winds and heavy rainfall to much of the state, causing power outages, downed trees, and flooding in some areas. Additionally, the town was significantly affected by the 1993 "Storm of the Century" which caused destructive storm surge, powerful winds, heavy rains, and tornadoes, killing a few people and leaving many homeless. Given this history and the positioning of Citrus Hills, it is crucial for residents to monitor hurricane forecasts closely during the season, have an evacuation plan in place and prepare to safeguard their homes if necessary.
