About West DeLand.
West DeLand, Florida, is approximately 20 miles inland from the Atlantic coast, which provides it with a certain degree of protection from the direct impact of hurricanes. However, the town's geographic proximity to the coastline does not exempt it from significant risks posed by hurricanes, especially those associated with heavy rainfall, strong winds, and resultant flooding. West DeLand history shows occasional landfall of hurricanes, post-landfall spinning off tornados, and stagnating rain bands that can lead to serious flooding. The town's relatively low elevation, roughly about 33 feet, makes it susceptible to flash flooding from excessive rainfall.
Over the past 30 years, West DeLand has experienced the impacts of major storms including Hurricane Andrew in 1992, and the 2004 hurricane season which saw the effects from multiple hurricanes that crisscrossed the state: Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne. More recently, Hurricane Irma in 2017 caused quite a noticeable damage. Despite the town's inland location, these storms caused significant damage from wind and flooding, demonstrating that West DeLand is not immune to serious hurricane impacts. Should such powerful storms make landfall near West DeLand in the future, residents should be prepared for potential property damage, power outages, and road closures due to downed trees and flooding. Long term planning should consider flood risk mitigation and wind-resistant construction.
