Ferry Pass, Florida, is susceptible to significant impacts during hurricane season given its proximity to the Gulf Coast. This location gives it a front line position to any Gulf-based tropical systems and also subjects it to heavy impacts from storm surge, which is one of the most devastating aspects of a hurricane in terms of potential for loss of life and property. Furthermore, its relatively low elevation increases the risk of flooding from both surge and heavy rain events that accompany these huge storms. Historically, Ferry Pass has been impacted by several major storms. In the past 30 years, the most impactful was Hurricane Ivan in 2004, which was almost a Category 5 at its peak strength. This storm caused substantial damage in the area, particularly due to flooding from the storm surge and prolonged heavy rains. Then, in 2020, Hurricane Sally caused widespread damage and flooding in the Pensacola area, including Ferry Pass. With climate change, scientists expect that storms will continue to become more intense, posing an increasing threat to areas like Ferry Pass. Hence, it's crucial that residents stay prepared and heed warnings when these storms approach.
