McGregor, Florida, is surrounded by water from the Gulf of Mexico and multiple smaller bodies of water which puts the town at a higher risk for hurricane threats. Its relatively low elevation increases the risk of flooding during a hurricane, and its proximity to the coast makes it susceptible to storm surge, which can be one of the most destructive aspects of a hurricane. Storm surge, coupled with heavy rainfall, can quickly lead to widespread flooding, damaging homes, businesses, and infrastructure, disrupting daily life for prolonged periods. In addition to these, the town is also exposed to high wind risks that could potentially lead to property damage and even loss of life. Historically, McGregor has been hit by several hurricanes and tropical storms. In the last 30 years, the most notable storms include Hurricane Charley in 2004, which caused significant wind damage, and Hurricane Irma in 2017, which caused extensive flooding. Moreover, the area potentially is in the path of more hurricanes due to the effects of climate change, which researchers suggest may increase the frequency of strong hurricanes. Therefore, it is critical for residents and businesses in McGregor to regularly review and prepare their hurricane and flood resilience plan.
