South Gate Ridge, Florida, due to its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, is considerably impacted by the hurricane season. The town's short distance from the coast places it at significant risk for direct hurricane hits and storm surges. Despite having relatively higher elevation compared to other coastal communities, flood risks remain a substantial concern, primarily due to torrential hurricane-induced rainfall and the region's susceptibility to flash flooding. The impacts of increased wind speeds can lead to substantial infrastructural damage and loss of life which can be aggravated by the region's dense population and structures. Traditional hurricane-linked impacts including power outages and disruptions to water supply could pose significant challenges to residents' health and safety, and could hinder post-event recovery efforts. In terms of historical precedent, South Gate Ridge has experienced several major hurricanes in the past 30 years, including Hurricane Andrew in 1992, Charley in 2004, and most recently, Irma in 2017. All these storms brought intense wind destruction and consequential flooding that resulted in substantial property damages and considerable disruption to public services. Also, the Hurricane Eta in 2020 led to remarkable flooding in the region, underlining the town's ongoing vulnerability to such events. These past impacts underscore the necessity for ongoing community preparedness strategies, adequate evacuation measures, and robust infrastructure designed to withstand high wind stress and flood resilience.
