Windsor, located in Alachua County, Florida, lies approximately 65-75 miles from either coast, putting it inland far enough to be less susceptible to direct hurricane landfall and storm surges. However, hurricanes and tropical storms can still pose a significant threat to the area as they move inland and dissipate, causing high winds, heavy rainfall, and possible tornadoes. The town's relatively low elevation also can make it susceptible to inland flooding during periods of heavy rainfall. Generally, Windsor and Alachua County's overall risk for flooding is considered to be moderate according to FEMA. In terms of historical hurricane impacts, one major example would be Hurricane Irma in 2017, which caused significant rainfall and wind damage in Alachua County, as well as power outages. Earlier, in 2004, Hurricane Frances caused widespread damage in Florida, including Alachua County, although it primarily impacted the eastern coast of the state. Each of these hurricanes resulted in some form of flooding in the area. Given these past storms and Windsor's climatic and geographical conditions, residents should be prepared for potentially damaging winds, heavy rains, flooding, and the risk of tornadoes coupled with hurricanes, especially during the peak months of hurricane season (August through October). They should have a complete emergency plan and stay informed about the latest weather conditions during this time.
