Nassau Village-Ratliff, located in northeastern Florida, is inland but its proximity to the coast, specifically the Atlantic Ocean, creates a concerning vulnerability to hurricanes and tropical storms. Its relatively low elevation and flat terrain make it susceptible to potential heavy rainfalls, which could lead to flooding, a common issue associated with hurricanes. Given its geographical location, Nassau Village-Ratliff could also experience high wind speeds during a hurricane, posing a risk of damage to structures and vegetation in the area. Over the past 30 years, Nassau County, in which Nassau Village-Ratliff is a part, experienced significant storm activity. Since 1995, Nassau County has experienced approximately 8 declared hurricanes and many tropical storms, with the most damaging being Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Hurricane Irma in 2017. Both storms resulted in significant flooding and wind damage. It is necessary for the residents of Nassau Village-Ratliff to take all hurricane warnings seriously and have a well-prepared evacuation or shelter plan due to the potential threats from both storm surge and inland flooding.
