Lake Belvedere Estates, Florida, while not a coastal town, still holds a significant risk for hurricanes and flooding. The tropical and subtropical conditions of Florida make the area susceptible to significant rainfall, particularly during hurricane season. Coupled with the fact that Lake Belvedere Estates lies at an average elevation of only 13 feet, heavy rainfall can easily result in serious flooding. Furthermore, the town is located approximately 10 miles inland from the East Coast of Florida, thus still within the range of destructive hurricane winds, heavy rainfall, and potential tornadoes spun off from hurricanes. Looking back at the town's history, we could find serious impacts from major hurricanes and flooding events in the past 30 years. Hurricane Andrew in 1992, one of the most destructive hurricanes in Florida's history, passed to the South but still brought damaging winds and heavy rains to the area. More recently, the successive hits from hurricanes Frances and Jeanne in 2004 and heavy outer bands from Hurricane Irma in 2017 resulted in widespread flooding and wind damage. Given these historical events and the geographic characteristics of the town, residents should maintain an effective hurricane readiness plan and stay informed of important weather updates during the hurricane season.
