About Woodville.
Woodville, Florida has a moderate to high risk from hurricanes, given its geographical location in the northern part of the state, approximately 20 miles inland from the Gulf Coast. The potential impacts range from strong winds and heavy rainfall to flooding. The town's elevation is relatively low, with most of the area less than 30 feet above sea level, increasing the possibility of severe flooding during a storm surge event. Furthermore, Woodville's topography and proximity to water bodies such as Lake Munson and natural drainage systems like the Wakulla Springs could exacerbate flooding risks. Another consideration is the prevalence of large trees in the area, which can impose a wind-driven threat, causing power outages and structural damage when uprooted.
In the past 30 years, Woodville has experienced several hurricanes and related flood events. In 1985, Hurricane Kate caused considerable damage with high winds, rain, and flooding. More recently, in 2005, Hurricane Dennis impacted the region, though the most devastating event was the powerful Hurricane Michael in 2018. This Category 5 storm caused catastrophic damage throughout much of North Florida, including Woodville, with significant treefall, power outages, and structural damage. While Woodville is somewhat protected due to its inland placement, it is important to remember that it's not immune to the threats posed by tropical systems, and precautions should always be taken.
