Town 'n' Country, Florida, due to its coastal location on the Gulf Coast and just northwest of Tampa, has significant exposure to hurricane threats. The town is relatively flat with a mean elevation of just 10 feet above sea level, which intensifies the risk of storm surge flooding during hurricanes. In the event of a significant hurricane, residents could be faced with major inundation issues, particularly if the storm coincides with high tide. With the additional risks of heavy rainfall and strong winds from hurricanes, there is likelihood of damage to homes, power outages and disruption of transportation routes. In terms of historical storms, perhaps the most significant in recent history was Hurricane Irma in 2017. While the storm did not make direct landfall in Town 'n' Country, its effects were certainly felt with strong winds and flooding. Additionally, the effects of Hurricane Elena in 1985 were notable, with the storm lingering over the Gulf of Mexico causing high tides and rainfall. Considering recent trends and historical occurances, Town 'n' Country has a consistent hurricane and flood risk. It is crucial that residents and local officials always stay prepared and have a comprehensive understanding of hurricane risk in order to effectively mitigate effects and efficiently recover from events when they occur.
