Frostproof, Florida, located in Polk County, is situated more than 60 miles inland from either the Atlantic Coast or the Gulf of Mexico. This inland location provides some buffer from the direct impacts of hurricane storm surge, which would pose a threat to coastal towns. However, the town is still susceptible to heavy rainfall, high winds, and tornadoes that hurricanes can bring. The town's relatively low elevation means it could be prone to flooding, especially in a case of heavy rainfall, which is common with prolonged slow moving hurricane systems. In recent history, Hurricane Charley in 2004 is the most notorious storm to impact Frostproof. The hurricane wreaked havoc with its high winds and heavy rainfall, causing significant damage throughout the town, illustrating Frostproof's vulnerability to such systems, despite its inland location. The town also witnessed flooding during the no-name storms of 1993 and 1998, emphasizing the potential flood risks from hurricanes. Hence, the residents of Frostproof should still take robust precautions during hurricane season, focusing on wind, tornado and inland flooding threat.
