About Weston.
Weston, Florida, despite being approximately 20 miles from the coast, still exhibits a significant risk of damage from hurricanes, high winds, and flooding due to its relatively low elevation and its location within the tropical storm-rich state of Florida. Although the risk from storm surges is somewhat mitigated by the town's inland location, it is still prone to exceptionally heavy rainfall from a tropical storm or hurricane system, which can lead to the risk of flash flooding or long-term flooding, particularly given South Florida's generally flat terrain and high water table. The significant amount of local water bodies, including the Everglades to the west, can exacerbate the flood risks during the Atlantic hurricane season.
In the past thirty years, Weston has been impacted by numerous major hurricanes and tropical storms; most notably Hurricane Andrew in 1992, Hurricane Irene in 1999, and more recently Hurricane Irma in 2017. Each of these storms brought damaging winds and flooding, causing substantial property damage and infrastructure challenges. Though Weston's urban planning is designed with storm resiliency in mind, residents should take precautionary measures due to the town's vulnerability to heavy rainfall, high winds, and the potential for flooding from nearby water bodies during hurricane season.
