Hurricane Michael Pre- and Post-Storm Photo Comparisons - Panama City

Location 1: Panama City Beach was to the west of Hurricane Michael’s landfall, and therefore storm surge was lower here than along the coast to the east. As a result, coastal impacts here were primarily dune erosion due to large waves. The dunes along this stretch of beach retreated landward about 40 feet (~12 meters). The probability of dune erosion for this location was 98%.
