Lauderhill, located in Southeast Florida, is situated approximately 7 miles from the Atlantic coast. The city occupies a predominantly lowlying area, averaging about 10 feet above sea level, making it particularly vulnerable to flooding from heavy storms and hurricanes. Additionally, given its coastal proximity, the area remains prone to storm surges and high winds, both of which often accompany hurricanes. Lauderhill falls within a hurricane evacuation zone, and its local infrastructure could face damage, especially during major hurricanes with high categories on the Saffir-Simpson scale due to intense winds. Over the past 30 years, Lauderhill has endured several major hurricanes and flooding episodes. The area was deeply affected by the significant rainfall and strong winds from Hurricane Wilma in 2005, and Hurricane Irma in 2017, both of which resulted in extensive property damage and localized flooding. More generally, South Florida’s vast network of canals, built to manage the region’s water levels, often overflows during major storms, exacerbating local flooding. As a result, residents should take hurricanes and tropical storm warnings seriously, following evacuation orders when given, and taking measures to protect their homes and properties. Proactive steps like installing hurricane shutters for windows and having an emergency preparedness plan could significantly mitigate the impacts of any upcoming hurricanes.
