Coleman, Florida, given its inland position in Sumter County is relatively insulated from the direct impacts of hurricane landfall typically experienced by coastal towns, such as storm surges. However, the town is not immune to the dangers of a hurricane entirely. The primary hurricane threats for Coleman would be intense rainfalls leading to flooding, especially given Florida’s generally flat topography, high wind speeds capable of damaging structures, and the possibility of tornadoes, often associated with hurricanes. As per its elevation, Coleman is approximately 62 feet above sea level which minimally mitigates the flood risk. Historically, Coleman has felt the impact of major storm systems including Hurricane Irma in 2017, which caused significant flooding and wind damage throughout Sumter County, and the 2004 series of hurricanes - Charlie, Frances, and Jeanne, that brought torrential rainfall and destructive wind, causing severe property damage and power outages. Coleman's location on the Florida Peninsula puts it at risk for storms approaching from either the Gulf or the Atlantic, with changing climate conditions, it is possible for the intensity and frequency of such systems to increase. Hence, residents and property owners in the area need to prioritize securing building fixtures, maintain effective drainage systems, and have robust hurricane plans in place.
