Hurricanes and Flagler County

Hurricanes pose a tremendous threat to life and property. Contrary to popular belief, Flagler County is not immune to a possible hurricane strike. There are no forces protecting us here, and hurricane strike probability is as high in this area as elsewhere in Florida. This is why it is essential to learn the facts and be well prepared before a hurricane strikes.

When it comes to hurricanes, wind speeds do not tell the whole story. Hurricanes produce storm surges, tornadoes, and often the most deadly of all - inland flooding. In fact, in 1999 Hurricane Floyd brought record flooding to the Eastern United States and, of the 56 people who perished, 50 drowned due to inland flooding.
