Lochmoor Waterway Estates, Florida, is situated on the Gulf Coast and directly adjoined to the Caloosahatchee River, significantly raising its risk of hurricane impacts and flooding. Its topical coastal location and relatively low elevation (average 10 feet above sea level) make it susceptible to tidal surge, particularly during hurricanes. Potential impacts can include significant wind damage, rainfall-induced flooding, and storm surge flooding which pose a risk to residences and infrastructure. The town also must consider other hurricane concerns, such as possible prolonged power outages, which can impair critical services. Historically, Lochmoor Waterway Estates has experienced some major hurricanes including Hurricane Charley, a Category 4 storm in 2004, which brought considerable damage to the area due to high winds and storm surge. Flooding risks are further compounded by periods of high rainfall resulting in overwhelmed drainage systems, like in 2017 when Hurricane Irma caused severe flooding in the area. Given these historical precedents and its geographical position, Lochmoor Waterway Estates must be prepared for the full gamut of possible hurricane impacts.
