Ensley, Florida, being situated in the Escambia County near the Florida panhandle, does lie within a region that is subject to hurricane threats. Although it is an inland location, its proximity to the coast, specifically being approximately 15-20 miles away from the Gulf Coast, suggests the potential for tropical storm and secondary impacts like storm surge-induced flooding is significant. Also, its relatively low elevation (approximately 112 ft) can contribute to these flooding risks. Flooding can be extensive, based on previous occurrences, which could lead to possible damage to infrastructure as well as posing a danger for the local populations. In the past 30 years, Ensley has experienced the impacts of several notable hurricanes and flooding events. For instance, in 2004, Hurricane Ivan greatly impacted the region, leading to severe wind damage and flooding. Another significant occurrence was from Hurricane Sally in September 2020, which dumped a substantial amount of rainfall over the Escambia County, leading to extensive flooding. Hence, considering the town's history with such events, future hurricanes carry the risk of not just wind damage, but also flood-related risks due to either direct precipitation or storm surge from nearby coastal areas. Preparation and planning for these threats are critical for the safety and resilience of Ensley's community.
