Rainbow Lakes Estates, Florida, although inland and at a relatively safe distance from the immediate coastline, is still prone to hurricane impacts due to its geographical location. As an inland town, it is somewhat insulated from the most devastating effects of storm surge that coastal cities experience, but it is far from immune to the effects of high winds, heavy rain, and tornadic activity common in cyclonic storms. Unlike coastal towns, communities like Rainbow Lakes Estates may be more vulnerable to extensive freshwater flooding due to heavy rainfall associated with strong hurricanes. The town is not situated at a high elevation, making it susceptible to such flooding. Over the last three decades, there have been a number of hurricanes and storms that have affected Rainbow Lakes Estates. Notably, Hurricane Frances (2004), Hurricane Jeanne (2004), and Hurricane Irma (2017) caused significant impacts and led to flooding issues. Especially with Hurricane Irma, there was widespread flooding and damage due to wind in and around Rainbow Lakes Estates, showing that even though it's at a distance from the coast, it is not exempt from the threats hurricanes pose. Therefore, it is crucial for the residents of this town to stay vigilant during hurricane season and follow preparedness measures as directed by local and state authorities.
