Are There Hurricanes In Orlando FL?

Yes there are hurricanes in Orlando FL. Rarely do we experience hurricane force winds (74+mph) but we do occasionally. The hurricanes come onshore 50+ miles away and that significantly weakens them. Orlando is also higher in elevation and the highest part in Central FL is within sight of Downtown Orlando.

Orlando Florida

Hurricanes are no secret in Florida. Back in 2002 the building codes for homes were significantly revised. Newer homes today will have a concrete wall on the first floor. Some builders like DR Horton now even build two story homes with solid concrete for the exterior walls. Rarely will you see a newer home damaged much from a hurricane in Orlando FL.
