Samsula-Spruce Creek, located in Volusia County, Florida, faces significant hurricane threats due to its geographic location close to the east coast of the state. Its distance of approximately 8 miles from the Atlantic coast increases its susceptibility to impacts from storm surge, extreme wind damage, and rainfall-induced flooding. Additionally, the town's relatively low elevation, with a majority of the area situated less than 25 feet above sea level, enhances its vulnerability to storm surge-driven flooding, rising water levels and erosion. Flood risk is further augmented by the area's abundance of creeks and canals which could also overflow during hurricane events causing significant residential and commercial damage. Historically speaking, Samsula-Spruce Creek was affected by multiple hurricanes and tropical storms over the past 30 years. Major instances include Hurricane Charley in 2004 that led to widespread wind and flood damage in Volusia County. The area suffered extensive losses again in 2016 when Hurricane Matthew passed along Florida's east coast, causing storm surge flooding and extensive wind damage. Hurricane Irma in 2017, though not a direct hit, brought heavy rainfall causing widespread flooding in the region. Therefore, apart from traditional storm preps, residents should consider flood insurance and hardening their homes to stand up to major wind damage.
