About Buckingham.
Buckingham, Florida is centrally located within Lee County and is moderately inland from the Gulf of Mexico, providing a certain degree of protection against direct impacts from a landfalling hurricane. However, hurricanes, tropical storms, and depressions, possess the ability to produce strong, damaging winds and incredible rainfall amounts as they move inland, indicating that Buckingham can still be significantly affected. The town's low elevation, specifically, its location in the South Florida flatwood makes it prone to flooding especially during heavy rains. Considering historical flood risk, Buckingham has experienced periodic flooding from extreme weather events, including hurricanes.
In the past 30 years, major storms including Hurricane Charley (2004) affected Buckingham with powerful winds and heavy rain, challenging the resilience of the local infrastructure. Similarly, in 2017, Hurricane Irma swept through Buckingham and other areas of Lee County causing extreme flooding and substantial property damage. Flood records from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reveal a few significant floods between the 1990s and early 2000s. Therefore, residents and property owners within Buckingham should understand that their risk for wind and flood damage from tropical systems and hurricanes is real and should take appropriate actions to stay protected during the hurricane season.
