Haverhill, Florida, though not a coastal town, is within striking distance for hurricanes that can thread into the inland parts of Florida. The town, being only about a 15-minute drive from the coastline and having an elevation just above sea level, is not entirely safe from the hurricane-generated storm surge and torrential rains causing severe flooding. Given Florida's mostly flat terrain, excessive rainfall from a tropical storm or hurricane can cause extensive inland flooding, making this a significant threat for Haverhill. Furthermore, wind damage could be substantial as strong hurricane winds can carry debris and damage structures, trees, and power lines. Looking back over the last 30 years, Haverhill has had its share of hurricane threats and impacts. Notable among these are Hurricane Andrew in 1992, the devastating Hurricane Jeanne and Frances in 2004, and Hurricane Irma, which destabilized most of Florida in 2017. These storms not only brought high winds and storm surges, but extensive flooding due to rainfall as well, leaving the area severely affected. Therefore, residents should be prepared for a potential similar impact from storms in the future and should carefully follow the instructions and advice of local officials and weather experts when a tropical system threatens the area.
