Remembering Hurricane Ivan, 20 years after landfall in Northwest Florida
SUMMARY: Hurricanes Ivan and Sally devastated communities in Northwest Florida’s Gulf Coast, especially the Grand Lagoon area. Residents, like The Sims and Curtis Mitchell, recalled the emotional aftermath of Hurricane Ivan 20 years ago, where many returned to find their neighborhood unrecognizable and severely damaged. Although their homes stood, extensive repairs were needed after the floodwaters rose dramatically. When Hurricane Sally struck 16 years later, it also caused significant destruction, including 22 barges washing away and damaging the Pensacola Bay Bridge. The experiences from these storms highlight the importance of preparedness for future hurricanes.
Monday marks 20 years since Hurricane Ivan made landfall on the Gulf Coast, devasting communities.
