Lake Alfred, Florida is located inland, reducing immediate threats from storm surges which commonly accompany coastal hurricanes. However, this does not negate the fact that the town is still at a significant risk from intense rainfall and strong winds during a hurricane event. The town's relatively low elevation could contribute to localized flooding in the advent of heavy rainfall, potentially affecting infrastructure, homes, and other property. Hurricanes also bring the hazard of strong winds which could lead to power outages, damage or uproot trees, and cause structural damage depending upon the intensity of the storm. In terms of historical impacts, Lake Alfred has felt the effects of several major hurricanes and storms in the last 30 years, indicating that the area is not immune to such events. For instance, Hurricane Charley in 2004, a Category 4 storm, caused widespread damages to Central Florida, including Lake Alfred. Another remarkable event was the 2008 Tropical Storm Fay, which brought massive rainfall leading to significant flooding in the area. Hence, residents should be fully aware of the potential for hurricane impacts and should maintain preparedness for such events, particularly during the Atlantic hurricane season from June through November.
