Tice, Florida, despite its inland location, is not immune to the potential threats posed by hurricanes due to its proximity to the Florida coast - approximately 15 miles from Fort Myers. This inland community, typically at relatively low elevation, can experience significant impacts from hurricanes including high force winds, torrential rain, and associated flooding. The Myakka River, which borders Tice to the east, poses a similar flooding risk, especially during significant rainfall events common during hurricanes. Its primarily low elevation also contributes to the risk of inland flooding, particularly during high-intensity hurricanes, where rainfall amounts can reach extreme levels. In assessing historical hurricane impacts, Tice has witnessed several significant events over the past 30 years. The most notable hurricane impact was perhaps from Hurricane Charley in 2004, an intense category 4 hurricane, which caused significant damage due to high winds and rainfall-induced flooding. More recently, Hurricane Irma in 2017, also resulted in substantial rainfall and wind-related damages to this region. These events underline the risk that hurricanes represent for Tice, despite its inland location, primarily due to wind damages, the potential for the swelling of bodies of water, and the additional threat of heavy rainfall causing flooding across a wide area. Therefore, a comprehensive hurricane preparation plan that accounts for all potential impacts, including rigorous building codes, flood management, and emergency planning is fundamentally crucial for the town of Tice.
