Midway, Florida, located about 70 miles inland from the Gulf Coast, has potential risks from hurricanes and tropical storm systems. While the town is not susceptible to direct storm surges due to its inland position, it can still face considerable rainfall, high wind speeds, and potential tornado threats from larger storm systems. This can culminate in a high risk of flooding, particularly due to the flat nature of the area’s topography, even with the town’s slightly elevated positioning compared to coastal regions. Prolonged heavy rainfall from hurricanes can cause local rivers and waterways to overflow, resulting in significant flood damage. Over the past 30 years, a few major storms and hurricanes, such as Hurricane Kate in 1985, Hurricane Ivan in 2004, and Hurricane Michael in 2018, have shown substantial impacts in the surrounding areas, including Midway. These hurricanes demonstrated a record of strong winds, heavy rainfall, and spawned tornadoes, leading to massive property damage and power outages. Although Midway is slightly more protected due to its inland location, residents should always be prepared for potential hurricane impacts, as each storm carries a unique set of circumstances and characteristics.
