Wright, Florida, being only slightly inland from the Gulf Coast, is susceptible to severe impacts from major hurricanes and tropical storms. Despite its lack of significant elevation to buffer against hurricane storm surge, the town sits slightly inland, which may offer some protection from the brunt of a storm's surge. However, being in the vicinity of many water bodies such as rivers, tributaries and lakes, sitting on relatively flat terrain, and its proximity to the coast, it is at a high risk for freshwater and coastal flooding as rainfall accumulates. Revisiting past impacts, Hurricane Opal (1995) and Hurricane Ivan (2004) significantly affected this area leading to property damage and flooding. More recently, Hurricane Michael's impact in 2018 demonstrated that Wright, though it is situated a bit inland, is not immune to the devastating impacts of major hurricanes. Citizens must invest in good home reinforcement, flood barriers and always heed evacuation warnings ahead of a hurricane's landfall. Moreover, community investment into flood risk reduction strategies such as enhanced drainage systems or floodplain zoning could significantly reduce vulnerability to flooding associated with tropical storms and hurricanes.
