Clarcona, Florida lies approximately 20 miles inland from the Florida coast, which somewhat reduces its risk of direct hurricane strikes and storm surge impacts, compared to coastal towns. However, being situated in Central Florida still places it within the path of potential hurricanes. Its low elevation, predominantly flat terrain, and close proximity to several bodies of water, including Lake Apopka, amplifies the town's exposure to flooding, especially in the event of significant rainfall associated with tropical storms or hurricanes. Also, high hurricane-force winds may cause additional damages such as falling trees and power outages, which inhibits travel and communication. Regarding its historical hurricane activity, Clarcona experienced notable impacts from multiple hurricanes in the past. Hurricane Charley in 2004 brought intense wind and heavy rain resulting in widespread power outages, downed trees, and structural damage. Following Charley, Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne further doused the already saturated area with more rain, enhancing the flood risk. In 2017, Hurricane Irma also affected the area with gusty winds and deluge. Although a coastal surge was not a significant factor due to Clarcona's inland location, these hurricanes showcased the area's vulnerability to wind, rain, and subsequent flooding damage from these storm systems. Therefore, residents should maintain vigilance during hurricane seasons and maintain thorough disaster preparedness plans.
