Since 1852, 231 hurricanes and tropical storms have passed within 150 miles of Daytona Beach. Here's what you should know.

Local note: Daytona Beach's low-lying Atlantic barrier-island coastline makes storm surge the dominant hazard, with damaging surge and coastal overwash from several recent storms — notably Hurricane Ian (2022) and the fast, close 1926 strike — compounding risks from powerful onshore winds.
