Sky Lake, Florida, despite being somewhat inland, is still vulnerable to the potential impacts of a hurricane. Its proximity to the coast means storm surges could easily push up water levels. Furthermore, the area is mostly flat with an almost negligible elevation, rendering any possibility of natural water runoff quite minimal. This is a significant concern as it makes the region quite prone to flooding. Besides the wind damage from hurricane-force gusts, flooding presents a considerable risk for residents, potentially leading to property damage, transportation disruptions, and in severe cases, loss of life. Historically, Sky Lake has experienced several impact from major hurricanes and consequent floods over the last three decades. The most notable among these was Hurricane Andrew in 1992, which resulted in significant property damage across the area. More recent storms include Hurricane Irma in 2017 that caused flooding in large sections of central and Southern Florida, including Sky Lake. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that residents stay updated with weather forecasts, particularly during the hurricane season, prepared with an emergency plan and be ready to evacuate if officials advise it.
