Connerton, Florida, located approximately 21 miles from the Gulf Coast, is far enough inland to typically avoid direct landfall from tropical cyclones. However, the town could still expect possible hurricane-associated threats such as heavy rainfall, strong winds, and even tornadoes spawned from the outer bands of a storm system. As for the town's elevation, Connerton sits mainly around 50-75 feet above sea level, which relatively reduces its susceptibility to storm surge inundation but does not completely eliminate the risks associated with intense rainfall and potential flooding. Historically, major hurricanes affecting this area within the past 30 years include Hurricane Irma in 2017 and Hurricane Frances and Jeanne in 2004. Both Irma and Frances caused substantial wind damage and flooding in parts of the region. The risk from flooding can be particularly significant when the ground becomes excessively saturated, like what was seen in the aftermath of Irma, causing scrubland and swamps to overflow into residential areas. This situation can be even worse if the storm stalls or slows down significantly over Connerton or nearby areas. As such, it's important for residents and local authorities to consistently monitor weather updates, particularly during the Atlantic hurricane season—June through November.
