In the past 30 years, Key Vista has endured the impacts of several significant hurricanes and floods. Most notable is Hurricane Hermine in 2016, which resulted in substantial flooding due to the storm surge and heavy rainfall. The town was also affected by Hurricane Irma in 2017, which caused flooding and significant wind damage.
